In an unprecedented act of intercultural exchange, underground rock cult favorites and iconoclastic champions of historic Jewish music traditions THE SWAY MACHINERY, have been invited to perform at THE FESTIVAL OF THE DESERT in Esekane, Mali, in the depths of the Sahara Desert this January. The Sway Machinery will bring its unique vision of JEWISH SPIRITUAL MUSIC traditions to the heart of ISLAMIC AFRICA, performing for an audience of thousands!

While in Mali, The Sway Machinery will record a new album, featuring collaborations with stars of the Malian music world. A documentary film about this journey is also in the making!

   About The Sway Machinery
For those who have seen The Sway Machinery in action, little explanation is needed. The band's combination of rhythmic power and potent folklore takes no prisoners. On stage the energy of submerged worlds is torn out into the light of day. And indeed, the historical tradition of Cantorial music, which is the focus of the band's work, is very much a lost world. The music of The Sway Machinery invites the listener to become like children wandering in the forest, discovering something mythic and wonderful.

“More a pulsating spiritual experience than a religious service, the music is a hybrid of Lockwood's diverse musical background.” -NY1
