Songhoy Blues鈥� Return Journey
Lopa Khotari steps into 2025 with new roots-based music, and Oumar Tour茅 from Malian band Songhoy Blues shares two tunes: one he met on the road, and one that reminds him of home.
In the first show of 2025, Lopa Khotari shares a taster of new roots-based music that is set for release in the New Year, including a track from Mexico-based Cuban singer-songwriter Rita Donte - whose forthcoming album explores Cuban traditions and Mexican genres like son jarocho - and soulful funk, rock and soukous courtesy of Kinshasa鈥檚 Jupiter & Okwess.
Elsewhere in the show, ahead of the release of their new album H茅ritage, Songhoy Blues鈥� bass player, Oumar Tour茅, offers his two 鈥楻eturn Journey鈥� tracks: one he encountered while traveling, and one that reminds him of home.
