Bray Jazz Festival's world stage promises Afro blues at its rawest and gutsiest from a combo who have been thrilling audiences around the globe since the release of their first collaborative album more than a year ago.
Seasoned by work with Robert Plant, Tinariwen and Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, Justin Adams' driving guitar finds a perfect match in West African master musician Juldeh Camara's hypnotic ritti ( African fiddle) and powerful voice.
Their album 'Soul Science' was named one of the top 10 albums Roots and Songlines releases of 2007, and collected a top award at last year’s BBC World Music Awards.
As a live trio are augmented by Martyn Barker, one time member of London rock band Shriekback and a figure guaranteed to give the music added drive and precision.
