Songlines Encounters Festival
The Shikor Bangladesh All Stars features seven of the country's best traditional musicians. There's folk singer Baby Akhtar, a specialist in songs from all over the country, spectacular dhol drummer Nazrul Islam and the maestro of Baul music Rob Fakir, who lives near the shrine of the most celebrated (19th C) Baul poet Lalon Fakir. For the first time in the UK, the All Stars will present a vivid sample of the country's vibrant folk heritage.
In the second part, the Shikor Bangladesh All Stars will join London's superb Anglo-Bangladeshi Afrobeat Latin group Lokkhi Terra, with pianist Kishon Khan and vocalists Sohini Alam and Aanon Siddiqua, to bring Songlines Encounters 2015 to a rousing conclusion.
Songlines Encounters Festival is co-curated by Songlines magazine and Ikon Arts Management
