This heavily international group specialises in a collective meshing, combining the precision of composed themes with ample leeway for crashing over the barriers, splattering down onto a grassy field of wild improvisatory freedom. Heavy activity over a decade's span makes this ...

Boi Akih: Storyteller

Read "Storyteller" reviewed by Ian Patterson
