Najma Akhtar Trio, The Shout Collective

Come down to the atmospheric and friendly Jamboree bar for our Shout Collective party with live music from the legendary Najma Akhtar and her trio.

British born vocalist, songwriter and actor Najma achieved a unique place on the global music scene by creating a new genre, introducing jazz to the traditional genre of the Ghazal (Urdu ballad) and Sufi sounds. Having collaborated with Robert Plant and Gary Lucas (amongst many others) Najma is now pioneering a new style, combining Delta blues, Celtic and folk-rock with her deep Indian roots.

Tonight she’ll be performing two sets with her trio, previewing songs from her forthcoming album Five Rivers. This is going to be a magical evening!
