Cankisou - Borrega



"Czech band Cankisou became famous in the Czech Republic and also abroad for its concerts full of energy and wild rhythms. Concerts run by singer Karel Herman who is very impressive not only because of his voice but also his figure become wild dance parties few minutes after beginning. Cankisou mixes influences from various ethnics with rock roots and with its rich collection of exotic instruments travels the world from Reunion island in an Indian ocean to Pakistan."

BETHANY AND RUFUS ROOT QUARTET LIVE AT LES TROIS MAILLETZ - PART I



The Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet not only released their new CD “Live À Fip” on October 22nd, but they performed tracks from it that same day at Les Trois Mailletz in Paris France (a local “cave” where Nina Simone used to play to rehearse for big show). The quartet released two videos from that performance, the first being “Oh, Death” a high energy number where Bethany Yarrow’s strong and passionate voice was accented and matched by Yacouba Moumouni’s vocals which mixed, intensified, and finally climaxed in a most satisfying manner. Backed by the masterful cello playing of Rufus Cappadocia and the rhythmic beats of ‘Bonga’ Jean-Baptiste, the performance was dynamic and powerful.
