Nazim Ziryab in session for World on 3
World on 3 joined forces with 大象传媒 Introducing in January 2015, with the aim of uncovering new talent in world, roots and folk music. Tracks from unsigned artists are now regularly featured in the programme, and this is their first 大象传媒 Introducing session.
Singer and guitarist Nazim Ziryab got his tracks on the 大象传媒 Introducing Uploader in January - he had performed in Mali and Morocco as well as his native Algeria before moving to the UK as a student three years ago. Nazim and his band were invited to record this session at the 大象传媒's Maida Vale studios in March. Nazim describes his music as "traditional Berber music fused with Afro-Blues, reggae, Jazz and raw psychedelic sounds that will transport you into the heart of the Sahara.
