TARABA - six outstanding soloists playing together for the first time founded by "gifted and innovative" flute player JACQUELYN HYNES, funded by Arts Council England. TARABA exploded onto the World Music scene as Time Out Critics' Choice with their sell-out debut headline gig at Hammersmith Irish Centre in February 2007.
Mixing sinuous Asian vocals with spell-binding Celtic sounds, fired by Flamenco guitar and North African beats; "this is an international virtuoso line-up that plays with real fire and passion and epitomises the brilliance and diversity of British Music today. "
Featuring British born Indian vocalist NAJMA AKHTAR (who has collaborated with Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Philip Glass, Jah Wobble ); Celtic fiddling phenomenon AIDAN BURKE (winner of over twenty all Ireland/England championships and founder of Comas); Spanish guitarist/composer HOWARD HAIGH (nominee for Composer of the Year 2006); soulful Irish singer-songwriter J. OWEN, and brilliant North African percussionist ZINGA RABHI.
