Following Rachid Taha and Vieux Farka Toure’s gig in Royal Festival Hall, the party continues in The Clore Ballroom with a special free post-show gig featuring Ethio-jazz legend and star of the Ethiopiques series Mulatu Astatke performing with psych-Afro-jazz collective The Heliocentrics.

Supporting are MC Afrikan Boy (who collab’d on a nice tune with K’naan as of late) and new afro-beat pioneers A.J. Holmes and Vamanos (Secousse Sound System).

Some vintage Mulatu for you. How lovely.
