Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino
This event has been archived!

Justin Adams and Mauro Durante come together in a brand new duo project as kindred spirits in the trance rhythms of Taranta which transcend "melancolia" or the blues. Justin Adams, guitarist, producer and composer, has been a chief collaborator with Robert Plant in his band, the Sensational Spaceshifters. His production on landmark albums by Tinariwen and Rachid Taha highlight his feel for North African groove. His recent solo album of guitar atmospherics, Ribbons, was cited amongst the top 50 albums of the past decade by Songlines magazine. Mauro Durante toured the world for many years with Ludovico Einaudi playing violin and frame drums. He is one of the leading players in the pizzica style of Southern Italy and leads Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, who have played great festivals all over the world. Opening the show is a rare performance from Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino who in 2018 featured in their own concert at the BBC Proms (where Justin Adams guested with them) and they won Best Group in the Songlines Music Awards. @Tavis Taiwo Artwork Event title Justin Adams & Mauro Durante + Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino Info for ticket buyers: We kindly ask the following from our guests before arriving at the venue: • Please take a free lateral flow test within 48 hours of the show.
