The summer is back, Ibiza is calling!

"Circles and Spirals" producer Ismael Diallo has been working on his new album coming out soon. In the same time he started producing tracks together with Dub guru "Razoof". The teamwork was so great that they decided to show up together for a live performance on Ibiza.
And here they are: Ismael Diallo will play saxophone and Razoof will mix the tracks at the "Kumharas - Ibiza" on July 6th 2008. They will perform among others the tracks they wrote together and some of the stuff each one did for his own album.
Already released is the title "Khajuraho" on the new compilation "Feelibiza". "Indigo" from the first "Circles and Spirals" album is featured on "Kumharas Vol.6". Coming out soon on the "Villa Mercedes Ibiza" compilation: "Playa Mitjorn" - Circles and Spirals feat. Razoof.

In April 2008, Ismael Diallo joined the band of Howard Carpendale, a very famous singer in Germany. For his comeback tour, they played in 16 big concert halls all through Germany. Playing for a huge public between 7.000 and 14.000 people was a great thrill! And there is still more to come...

After an exiting month of July playing with some great DJs such as Razoof (Formentera), P.M.F.M. (Deep Dive Corp.)(Ibiza), DJ Malte (Ibiza), Leon El Ray (Germany) it is time now for Ismael Diallo to give a concert of his own... And there he is! For the second time "circles and Spirals" is playing for the "African Dance Night" organised by ENIJE in Düsseldorf.The aim, this time again, is not to let our public relax and dream but to take them to the dance floor with some great mix of house beats and african ethnic sounds, High-Life, Dub, Ragga and Nu-Jazz, and of course the improvised performance of all musicians. "Circles and Spirals" is proud to welcome again two great special guests: Richar Donkor (Ghana) on the Percussion and Emmanuel Essome (Camerun) on the electric guitar.
