Etran Finatawa + The Hut People   

£10

Etran Finatawa was formed as a band at the time of the 2004 Festival in the Desert near Timbuctou. The literal meaning of their name is 'the stars of tradition'. They are the first group to use the songs and music of the Tuareg and the Wodaabe in a modern context. They began as a group of ten musicians who wanted to unite these two nomadic cultures as a symbol of peace and reconciliaton. The touring and recording band consists of six players three of whom are Tuareg and three, Wodaabe-Fulani. In Niger the Wodaabe and the Tuareg live side by side on the desert's fringes sharing pastures and water sources which sometimes leads to feuding. They work together to be strong and to give their culture a future in this changing world. The music of the two tribes is very different but the way it has been combined has produced a powerful and hypnotic sound and a new musical style of Nomad Blues.

The Hut PeopleThe Hut People are an accordion and percussion duo. The accordionist is Sam Pirt who plays with 422 who won the Radio 2 folk awards a few years back. Sam is a very experienced musician who is well established in the folk world. Sam has performed alongside Kathryn Tickell, The Dubliners, Sharon Shannon, Jez Lowe, Brian Finnegan, Brian McNeill and many others in the folk scene. He is also the founder of Ethno England.

Gary Hammond is the percussionist, who for the past 12 years has recorded and toured with The Beautiful South. He has worked with Nina Simone, Homespun, and many other groups and set ups within the world music and jazz/pop world. He has also worked on many television shows inc.Ab Fab, Monarch of the Glen and loads of others.

They both have a love of Scandinavian, English and European folk tunes which are played with an accordion / multi-percussion twist.
