The West African Blues Project


Blues guitarist Ramon Goose, presents The West African Blues Project. His first step into working with African musicians saw the release of Mansana Blues with Diabel Cissokho which was widely regarded as one of the best crossover albums in 2010.
This is a meeting of minds; a meeting of cultures and two styles of music that seem to blend so well together it seems just natural . No two concerts are the same as each one offers a different powerful line-up (sometimes with a few surprises). The result ? A fabulous blend of intoxicating sound!
