Sam Lee - songdreaming (Cooking Vinyl 2024.)
'We don't have the tools with which to relate to nature any more. I’m a guide in that sense and music is my sort of Pan pipe, trying to bring people over into a new way of feeling towards what loving nature can be.' With these words, Sam Lee explains what his fourth solo album entitled "songdreaming" is all about. The 43-year-old Englishman has developed into one of the most important Anglo-Saxon folk singers in recent years, and with this album he has only confirmed his status. Brilliantly produced by Bernard Butler, "songdreaming" enchants us once again with beautiful Sam's baritone.
Sheherazaad - Qasr (Erased Tapes 2024.)
Sometimes just a few seconds of a song is enough to know that the whole album is something incredible. This is the case with the (mini) album "Qasr", recorded by American musician Sheherazaad. She has spent a long time coming to terms with her Indian heritage and transmits all of this into these five songs. The comparison with Arooj Aftab is obvious, which is not surprising when you consider that Arooj produced "Qasr". It's hard to listen to this album without being completely overwhelmed with emotion.
Xabier Diaz & Adufeiras de Salitre - Axudame A Sentir (Selfreleased 2024.)
There is something magical about traditional Galician music, especially in the interaction of a female choir with percussion. Add to this the gentle and distinctive voice of Xabier Diaz and you have a winning formula that has been working for years. "Axudame A Sentir" is the fourth joint album by Diaz and Adufeiras de Salitre, which once again takes us through the musical heritage of the north-western Spanish province.
