One of contemporary African music’s “most exciting new talents”, Dobet Gnahoré has captivated audiences the world over with her exhilarating live performances, mixing powerful singing and strong melodies. Originally from the Ivory Coast, Gnahoré now calls France home where she composes her music with her partner in life French guitarist Colin Laroche de Feline. Na Afriki comes out of that partnering, the bi-continental influences and environments, mixing delicate ballads with upbeat African grooves.

Beans and Sox aren’t the only thing that Boston is known for: when you think folk music, add Crooked Still to that list. With a reputation for creative alternative bluegrass and string band music, Crooked Still has been a hit at music festivals all over the world. Hop High is at times sultry and dark, and other times funky and upbeat. Crooked Still knows how to mix up trad with a contemporary flair and to push strings where they don’t normally go.
