There are few acts in the UK with as strong an influence or as complex a legacy as Transglobal Underground. For 25 years, the group has been, at times, a founder of global fusion, a working band famous for scorching live shows, a techno soundsystem, a folk festival rabble-rouser, a pop group, a club night, a Middle Eastern hit production team, an improvised study group for Indian classical music, an Albanian brass band, and a medicine show. The band are currently touring their latest album Walls Have Ears with current regulars Hamid Mantu, Tuup, Sheema Mukherjee, Tim Whelan, and Rav Neiyyar.
Concert of Colors is metro Detroit’s free annual global music festival, an upbeat event celebrating diverse World music traditions-including the indigenous music of the Motor City. The festival also hosts the Forum on Community, Culture and Race, a series of conversations with artists, cultural, and community leaders examining the role of the arts in overcoming social barriers.
