Mellowtone have announced two new special shows for autumn ’25.
The Tapi Project
On Wednesday 22nd October, they welcome The Tapi Project to the Everyman, in association with Milap. The Tapi Project’s music is a continuous revival and retelling of stories and themes that make up modern India – held together by compelling songwriting and compositions. Influences from the worlds of jazz, folk and rock – filtered through the Indian subcontinent – all combine to create a unique and genre-defying sound.
The event is a part of Milap’s biennial INDIKA Festival. Read more about the programme here.
Afel Bocoum
For over three decades, legendary Malian musician Afel Bocum has been a guardian of the Niger River’s musical soul. A musical companion to Mali’s late great desert blues pioneer Ali Farka Touré, Bocoum launched a solo career with his debut album in 1999, Alkibar (The Messenger), and gained international recognition through collaborations with Damon Albarn, including 2002’s Mali Music. Now, as one of the Sahel’s most beloved artists and ambassador for endangered instruments like the njurkel lute and njarka fiddle, Bocoum is set to release singles from his new album Harber in late 2025.
