Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra are back with their second album ‘Towards Other Worlds’. The UK-based 9 piece have built on the success of their debut album, described by BBC Radio 2’s Jamie Cullum as one of his ‘sounds and albums of 2010’. Afrobeat’s inimitable rhythm and language is evident and the band also owes part of their sound to the space jazz pioneers of the 70s and the free jazz trailblazers of the 60s. ‘Towards Other Worlds’ is due out in early December – have a listen here to get a taste of what to expect!
You can pre-order the album at http://ariyaastrobeatarkestra.bandcamp.com/album/towards-other-worlds – the album will be released on CD, limited edition 10″ Vinyl and download.
