Vorig jaar overdonderde Fatoumata Diawara met haar debuutalbum ‘Fatou’, schitterde ze met haar sensuele stem en eigen composities in ‘Later with Jools’ en stond ze wekenlang nummer 1 in de World Music Charts, een hitlijst samengesteld door radiomakers uit heel Europa. In haar nog korte carrière werkte ze ook nog eens samen met grootheden als Oumou Sangaré, Youssou N’dour en Herbie Hancock.

Zita Swoon Group is touring again. "The sound is a mixture of raw acoustic blues and folk and the traditional ‘mandigue’ music from West-Africa. The songs deal with the moral and the problems of modern African society".

The musical merger of Habib Koité (Mali) and Eric Bibb (USA) brings together two soulful histories into a never-before heard guitar sound that is passionate and ebullient. Growing up in Mali, West Africa, Koité is heir to an ancestral knowledge set to song that places him among the most influential voices of contemporary Africa, while Bibb's lineage in the traditional blues sound has produced an earthy mix of folk and gospel dating back to the work songs of the deep south. Forging a bridge across the Atlantic, Bibb and Koité are two talents too exhilarating to ignore.

Stef Bos toert begin 2013 met een titelloos  programma en een band door Zuid-Afrika. Het vertrekpunt van de voorstelling was dit beeld van de  jonge  Zuid-Afrikaanse schilder Christiaan Conradie. Het  vervolg was een verzameling van veel nieuwe woorden en muziek die samen met oudere nummers de verbeelding en de verwondering ruim baan willen geven. Verder geen woorden meer over wat er gaat gebeuren op het  podium….. dit beeld vertelt alles.
