Jaadu featuring Faiz Ali Faiz with Thierry "Titi" Robin and At First Light
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event.
Jaadu, which aptly translates from Hindi as “magic”, is a mesmerising meeting of minds between two of today’s most original world music adventurers. Maverick French guitarist Thierry “Titi” Robin – here also playing Afghan rubab and Middle Eastern buzuq – has long roved across cultural boundaries, finding and forging links among Mediterranean, Balkan and gypsy traditions. Pakistan’s Faiz Ali Faiz, a former protégé and designated understudy of the late great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, is widely regarded as today’s greatest living qawwali singer, also renowned for his previous collaborations with flamenco artists. Together, they make intensely powerful, truly transcendental music.
After a decade’s gradual evolution, At First Light now unites the formidable talents of John McSherry, Dónal O’Connor, Francis McIlduff, Ciara McCrickard, Michael McCague and Tony Byrne, on uilleann pipes, whistles, fiddles, keyboards, bouzouki, guitar, bodhrán and vocals. As their new debut album, Idir, abundantly shows, it’s been well worth the wait.
