The tracklisting of the Nick Zinner / Marc-Antoine Moreau produced album is as follows:

1.   Soubour
2.   Irganda
3.   Al Hassidi Terei
4.   Jolie
5.   Desert Melodie
6.   Mali
7.   Sekou Oumarou
8.   Nick
9.   Al Tchere Bele
10. Wayei
11. Petit Metier

The album will be preceded by the release of a single Al Hassidi Terei / Mali on Monday 8th December 2014. The single will be available on 7” and digitally.

Once one of the most prominent and powerful of Mali’s many ethnic groups, the Songhoy, who hail from the banks of the Niger River between the ancient cities of Timbuktu and Gao, have suffered a long slow decline since their apogee in the 6th and 17th centuries. Now largely living on the margins of the West African nation whose political and cultural life is dominated by the Bambara people of the south, they nonetheless retain a fierce pride in their history, beliefs and music.

We're premiereing the excellent Red Snapper remix of Mali's Songhoy Blues new single; Irganda on Transgressive Records.

Hailing from the town of Gao in north-eastern Mali, Songhoy Blues came together in Bamako naming themselves in celebration of their displaced Songhoy people and culture.  A fixture on the Bamako club and bar live music treadmill, their break came in September 2013 when French music manager Marc-Antoine Moreau was in the city to scout for musical talent on behalf of Africa Express.  The band were invited to record a song with Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the track, Soubour, ended up as a stand-out track on the Africa Express album, Maison des Jeunes. 

Having already supported Damon Albarn at the Royal Albert Hall and played a short run of European dates with Julian Casablancas & The Voidz before Christmas, they recently announced details of their first UK tour.  Their show at Oslo in Hackney has already sold out and they've just put another London date show on sale in May at the Village Underground.

Red Snapper on remix duties are back producing some of their most vital and on point music for over a decade. This continues in their signature drum heavy style, slowing the original track down somewhat whilst retaining the ebb and flow of it.

La legendaria aventura de Lulo, famoso taxista y músico que arriesga su vida por las peligrosas calles de Cali, transportando al loco Guerra, a Jovita, a Juan alimaña y hasta la misma muerte, buscando un viejo amor; una mujer que por la mañana sabe a jugo de guayaba.

Selda Bağcan is a legendary Turkish singer and political activist. Her first singles, about political struggle and the demands of the working class, sold over 1 million copies. Selda’s psychedelic interpretations of traditional Turkish folk music and her political views have lost Selda her passport and caused her to be repeatedly imprisoned during the 70s and 80s.

As main guest of Le Guess Who? Festival 2014, Selda gave an equally joyous as emotional performance. St. Vincent and tUnE-yArDs, both admirers of the singer, performed before she took the stage. "The iconic Turkish protest singer convinced a room full of people, to dance, hug, and cry. If that’s not festival magic, I don’t know what is." - MTV Iggy

Le Guess Who? is very proud to be able to share the recordings of this captivating performance as a one-time, limited edition vinyl release of just 500 copies. See http://leguesswho.bigcartel.com for more info.

Le Guess Who? 2016 takes place November 10-13 in Utrecht, The Netherlands, featuring the great Wilco. For more info, see www.leguesswho.com.
