***GNAWA GRIOT ft. SIMO LAGNAWI & JALLY KEBBA SUSSO***
(Morocco meets Gambia)

Passing Clouds' favourite Gnawa master Simo Lagnawi collaborates with our beloved Gambian Griot Jally Kebba Susso - the Jimi Hendrix of the Kora-world. These two superstars have been weaving their ancient African musical forms with Jazz, Folk, Funk, Samba, Electronic, African drums, music from India, Japan, South America and yonder, and it is their mission to expand and interlace the boundaries of each individual tradition, whilst keeping its heart and soul intact.

***RAGGA TWINS with DJ BLAZEMORE***
(Jungle/Reggae/Hip-hop)

Riding on the wave of their triumph at Beatroots earlier in the year, the Ragga Twins are the link between UK dancehall reggae, jungle and hip-hop. This is a retrospective of their classic (and now very rare) early tracks produced by Shut Up and Dance at the start of the 1990s.The Ragga Twins (alongside producers PJ and Smiley, AKA Shut Up and Dance) revolutionised UK dance music at the start of the 1990s bringing Reggae and Hip-Hop styles together to create Jungle.
