Darfur at the Angel

Kalabash

Salmon and Compass - Islington London

16 November 2006

Another fantastic live set from Emmanuel Jal and his crew at the Salmon and Compass last night. The venue is quite intimate with performers being on the dance floor rather than a stage. Prior to the gig Kalabash had organised an evening of African awareness focusing in particular on the Darfur region. Freestyle drumming intermingled with the talks and live music. A truly rhythmic evening.
