Echo and the Ganda Boys perform Dembessa, a traditional Ugandan song of celebration, live on BBC Radio 3 as part of the BBC In Tune Christmas special

Dembessa

Echo performed as part of the BBC Radio 3 In Tune Christmas Special in December 2022. On the show, recorded at the BBC's Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House, in front of a live studio audience, we performed two pieces with Ganda Boys alongside a beautiful Icelandic hymn by Anna Thorvaldsdottir. We also premiered Sarah Latto’s arrangement of Nina Simone's Little Girl Blue, featuring Sam Cobb as the soprano soloist accompanied by Sergey Rybin.

We shared the stage with a host of incredible musicians including Connaught Brass, Albion Quartet, Charles Owen, Soraya Mafi and the accordionists Ryan Corbett and Djordje Gajic - it was a wonderful experience!
