Promoting AFRICAN LINX WEEKEND on BBC RADIO NOTTINGHAM

African Linx aims to expose the music of other cultures to the audience. It give the musicians from many different genres the opportunity to become acquainted with each other and begin to consider collaberations leading to new and exciting works. Above all we hope that the outcome of African Linx events will be thoroughly enjoyable for all those taking part. African Linx began in 2006 with a one-day event where about ten diverse groups came together to produce an outstanding programme of music and dance. This was then repeated on a bigger scale in 2007, in a beautiful setting by the side of the Oxford canal, providing a platform for the best of local musicans playing alongside a wealth of musicians fromAfrica and beyond. African Linx is aiming to work with local community groups, to encourage a real sharing and understanding of the cultures that make up our rich and diverse society. African Linx @ Kartong Part of African Linx's remit is to support the Kartong Festival. It was to this end that a cultural exchange betwwen artisits who performed at the African Linx @ Cropredy event in September 2006 and artists who performed in the Kartong Festival was planned. A successful application was made to The Arts Council of England, which provided funding for six members of the UK Sabar group, Sankofa, and two members of Crooked Sixpence to collaborate and perform with two musicians in The Gambia for Kartong International Festival. Sankofa are attending next year's Kartong Festival, to work with Modou Diouf. Chris Park and Justine Hart from Crooked Sixpence worked with Gambian Kora player, Moriba Kuyateh, and performed with him at the festival in March 2007. This culmination of thier work was a spellbinding amalgamation of rythm and texture that appealed to the audience of both local Kartonkas and visitors at the event. Justine's amazing vocals and subtlety of Chris's accompaniments were in perfect harmony with intricacies of Moriba's kora playing. An english sea-shanty was combined seamlessly with Gambian fishing song and the beating of the bohdran lay comfortably within the traditional Mandinka song. The Future The activity so far has established a precedent for a two way exchange of artists between the UK and the Gambia, maximising the benefit for all parties concerned. The African Linx family is still growing as more events are planned across the UK and as visitors to the the Kartong Festival grow each year
