JUJU! presents the finest hand-picked selection of true roots music from the heart and soul of Africa alongside vintage Afro-vinyl collector and curator DJ Volta 45 of the Afro Palace collective. Blending raw, untouched traditional music with genre-crossing fusion performances.

Diabel Cissokho is a master of the Kora and Ngoni (west African lute), he is a phenomenal singer and composer, and has enough positive energy to power a small country. Diabel's virtuosic talent, as well as his expression and sensitivity when playing has brought him much respect amongst his fellow musicians, who cross many genres of music from traditional African, to jazz and Afro-beat. Think Toumani mixed with Etoile De Dakar blended with Saharan, Tinariwen-esque rhythms and a sweet soulful voice unlike any other Griot we've found this side of West Africa.
