The veteran American bluesman has long been fascinated by African styles, and has explored the links with the #blues through his recordings with Toumani Diabate or live collaborations with Tinariwen. Now he has moved from Mali to Zanzibar, to team up with the island's best-known orchestra, and provide a reminder that there is great music in east Africa too. The Culture Musical Club are an intriguing, rhythmic and stately acoustic band. They mix violins with hand-drums and the oud, the Arabic lute, with the zither-like qanun in songs that are influenced by Arabic and Asian as well as African styles."
