    Ahead of news that Dandelion, the bus will be returning to Glastonbury, we’re dropping a couple of ‘extra’s’ as part of our OPEN UP series (recorded and never released before now) at Glasto ’17. This is an inspiring discussion with ground breaking and fantastic musicians - Songhoy Blues, who met Gemma in Mali, West Africa a few years ago after they’d fled their hometown of Timbuktu due to an enforced music ban, making it unsafe for them to play music any longer. They have had a whirlwind journey ever since.. Touring the world and releasing records. Here they are reconnecting with Gemma and hanging out on her bus.. in the fields of the one of the world’s most magical music festivals.. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
