With sales now topping one and a half million albums and two Grammy nominations to date, Afro Celt Sound System are the European and African based collective who’ve been a ground-breaking force in music ever since they started more than 20 years ago. Finding kindred spirits from international talent, the band continue to exhilarate with dazzling live performances. Now having an accomplished catalogue of albums under their belts, dating back to their 1996 debut, Afro Celt Sound System recorded and released their first studio recording for a decade in April 2016: ‘The Source’ (ECC Records).
‘…They pulled in everything – bangra, bagpipes, drum’n’bass – whatever it took to keep the crowd dancing, despite a torrential downpour…proof that the acts who return to Womad year after year can pack more of a punch than special guests’ – The Telegraph (live review 2017)
