DESCRIPTION:

Escape London for a few hours on Saturday 15 March with an evening of "fast-paced, dance-crazy, party-driven pizzica" featuring headliners Amaraterra, who make their long-awaited return to Brixton Jamm.

Formed in 2011 by a group of passionate expats from the Salento, Amaraterra has grown into a multi-national ensemble, presenting its audience with a joyful and energetic selection of pizzica and roots music from all over the south of Italy, and adapting its style of music to the vibrant and cosmopolitan world music scene without weakening the links to its traditional musical canon. In recent years, Amaraterra has become something of a live music phenomenon in London, selling out headline gigs at the Jago, Jamboree, Magic Garden and others, and developing a hardcore cult following in the process.

Chief support is Tashkezar. Based in London/Bristol/Brighton but hailing from Egypt, Uzbekistan, UK and US, Tashkezar combine influences from Egyptian 80s/90s pop with Balkan folk and Turkish funk to create what they call Egyptian Psych Funk, blending psych guitar with funk basslines, punchy horns, anthemic synth and catchy, uplifting Arabic vocals.

TICKETING:

Final release £15 via Humanitix. Half price for groups of four.
