About

Part traditional balladeer, part nu-folk hero, Alasdair Roberts weaves potent new magic from ancient songs and myths, in a starkly beautiful, strikingly literate blend of reworked folk material and compelling original songs. His latest release, the rapturously received Too Long in This Condition, will be followed by another self-penned collection in 2011.

The radiantly uplifting sound of young Cameroonian singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player Muntu Valdo, deftly incorporating live loops and sampling, reunites the African roots of blues, soul, funk and Latin music.
