Event information

Two master musicians find new common ground between Magreb, Saharan desert and delta blue, Mediterranean melody, the tarantula of Puglia and rocking soul.

Justin Adams, guitarist and producer, composer - chief collaborator with Robert Plant and the Sensational Shapershifters. Mauro Durante, toured for years with Ludovico Einaudi on violin and frame drums. His band Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino played at the BBC Proms and wondered Best Group in the Songlines Music Awards 2018.

“A thrilling, spontaneous affair, switching between the laments and love songs of southern Italy and the gritty blues of North Africa and North America. Adams is an astonishing player...a bravura performance.” The Observer.

“Another great global-punk desert blues mash up.” UNCUT 8/10

“Adams's guitar burns like a torch in the dead of night. Mauro's singing channels ancestral voices. Thoroughly unpredictable and profoundly meditative” The times ****
