The Winners of the BBC’s World Music Award present their second album
Innovative pioneer of Global Music, Justin Adams presents an astonishing LP that fuses the Sun Studio sound with Gambia.
In his second collaboration with master Gambian musician Juldeh Camara, an exciting new fusion is realized as Adams brings Clash-style punk energy to West African trance rhythm. .
Camara plays a single string violin (riti) which sounds like a blues harp one minute and a Celtic fiddle the next. He is a celebrated Griot (preserver of history in song) in Gambia - a Homeric bard who carries the traditions of his forefathers. Adams, son of an itinerant diplomat, together with Jah Wobble, formed The Invaders of the Heart and went on to create a legacy that spawned a multitude of reinventions - from Robert Plant
to Natacha Atlas. From the pulsing rock and roll of “Kele Kele” to the gorgeous sprawl of “Tonia Yima”, the Sonic Youth-esque “Sahara” and the Muddy Waters influenced “Fulani Coochie Man”, Tell No Lies is a
groundbreaking LP – a visceral electric fusion of Europe and Africa – a meeting of Western rock and African Griot.
“Justin Adams is one of the most
intriguing and enthusiastic musicians in Britain” THE GUARDIAN
“It is extraordinary what one can do with a single string. This sound is more exciting than a Led Zeppelin reunion” THE TIMES
