Folk Fusion w/Ayrosh
On 1st November 2019, Folk Fusion headlined by Gikuyu Afro-pop sensation Ayrosh is coming back. This is more than just a concert, it's a celebration of African culture where folk meets pop music.
Go back in time with your favorite mugithi classics by legends such as Joseph Kamaru, John Ndichu and Rift Valley Brothers. As always, Ayrosh aka #Murasta will be backed up by his band of superstars Tha Movement. The urban mugithi crew will also share the stage with special guests to be announced soon.
Beating Heart X Saronde Single Launch
After a summer of touring the best of the summer festivals, from Glastonbury and Boomtown to Elrow Ibiza and Osheaga Montreal, Saronde are celebrating the launch of their new single.
The Beating Heart label founders have travelled across Africa recording contemporary artists working alongside vintage field recordings, all fused with a modern musical twist.
On the night, they’ll be joined by Idd Aziz from Nairobi who’s mesmerising vocal hooks featured on their 'Kilamu' and ‘Cold’ singles as well as Boys Ride Bikes and Kouslin who provide stunning remixes for the release.
Out on 18 Oct, new single ‘Shitongolwa’ is an up-tempo slice of pure joy bringing positivity, smiling faces and lots of high energy stomping to dance floors all summer.
The Beating Heart label spurs a new wave of collaboration between Africa and the rest of the world, by using an untapped archive of 70-year-old field recordings housed at the International Library of African Music (ILAM) founded by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey.
