Track of the Day: Songhoy Blues – Irganda

• 20th Jan 2015

Mali world music quartet Songhoy Blues have revealed that their new single ‘Irganda’ will be released on Transgressive Records on Monday March 2nd 2015 to coincide with a UK tour.

The single is taken from their debut album, Music In Exile, which is released on Monday February 23rd 2015 and is one of the hip shakin’est tracks we’ve heard in a long, long time. Feel those basslines – we dare you not to dance.

The band, who supported Damon Albarn at the Royal Albert Hall and played a short run of European dates with Julian Casablancas & The Voidz before Christmas, have also recently announced details of their first UK tour which you can see below.
