Salsa Celtica and Fatoumata Diawara
Old Fruitmarket
Please Note: This is a past event.
Now in their 16th year, Salsa Celtica are widely regarded as a Scottish national treasure, while retaining all their original appetite for innovation.
With each of their five albums to date, this unique big-band line-up have taken their signature hybrid of Latin and Celtic sounds and instrumentation to another new level, most recently exploring Gaelic and Afro-Cuban rhythms and song to stunning effect. Firm international favourites across the folk, world and jazz scenes, they’re currently at work on their first studio release in seven years, due out summer 2012.
With the recent release of her self-titled debut album, Malian singer Fatoumata Diawara – aka Fatou – has been hailed as “the most beguiling talent to hit the world music scene in some time” (Telegraph). Gifted with a deliciously cool yet soulful voice, she blends her homeland’s Wassoulou traditions and her own often outspoken lyrics with subtle shades of funk and jazz.
