Songhoy Blues will be in Bristol to play their recent album Resistance. Featuring guest appearances from Iggy Pop, Elf Kid and more, Resistance is a “bold, inspiring, outward-looking record that perfectly reflects the postion the band have found themselves in following the massive success of their breakthrough debut Music in Exile.”
All those old ‘world music’ prejudices have no place here. Songhoy Blues are four talented, hungry, sharp and outward-looking young men from Mali, which has had more than it’s share and pain and conflict in recent years. But it has given far more than its share of music and joy to the world in return over the past four decades. That place may seem strange, alien and ‘exotic’ to some but deep down, Songhoy Blues are a familiar proposition: four young men, guitar, drums, bass and vocals, driving rhythms, big hearts and a story to tell.
