Somerset House Summer Series 2017

Songhoy Blues' journey from conflict ridden Mali to Somerset House is a remarkable story. Their support slot in 2015 was one of the highlights of the Summer Series, so we can’t wait to see these pioneers of desert punk blues return as a headline act this year.

Featuring

Songhoy Blues

A group of talented musicians from Mali, Africa. Raised on a diet of Hip-Hop, R&B and Hendrix, all those old ‘world music’ prejudices have no place here. Songhoy Blues are four talented, hungry, sharp and outward-looking young men from a part of the world that has had more than its share of pain and conflict in recent years.

Submotion Orchestra

Live project from Leeds-based dubstep label Ranking Records, incorporating deep bass-driven grooves and dense textures in their progressive live dubstep sound.
