27th July on the

We will be looking at guitar parts based on rhythm- how understanding of African and Arab rhythmic patterns can give your guitar a "locked-in" swing and drive. We will be joined by master percussionist Salah Dawson Miller and get a chance to experience being part of a polyrhythmic groove machine.

Justin Adams Biography

“Justin Adams”

Justin Adams has been at the cutting edge of world music alchemy since the 1990's with Jah Wobble, Robert Plant (Adams co-wrote The Mighty Rearranger), Natacha Atlas, The Festival of the Desert, Tinariwen (producing their first and third albums), LO'JO. Taking influences from African, Arabic and Irish traditions as well as rock and roll and the Blues, his distinctive, driving guitar style is the missing link between Bo Diddley and Munir Bashir. With Tell No Lies, Adams delves deeper into the African origins of black American music, following the roots of New Orleans and Mississippi soul right back to the Songhai, Fulani and Toureg peoples of West Africa.
