Bahla opened our show with their wonderful atmospheric
concoction of cinematic jazz weaved around Jewish folk music. This
five-piece group was formed in London just two years ago by
Venezuelan pianist Joseph Costi and guitarist Tal Janes. Along with
Andrea Di Biase on double-bass, drummer Ben Brown, and the sublime
vocals of Ines Loubet Franco from Portugal, they’ve just released
their debut album, ‘Imprints’, and you can catch them on tour
across the UK from February 2nd. Their London date will be at Pizza
Express in Soho’s Dean Street on February 27th! www.bahla.co.uk

Next up on this AWIL were Hasan and Rami Nakhleh from
TootArd,
who’d just flown in from Paris and are set to play Rich Mix on
February 1st! TootArd’s superb album ‘Laissez Passer’ has
stirred up a whole heap of excitement on the international scene
since it emerged last year. Their tracks marry rock guitar with
classical Arabic sax, painting in Maqam riffs and Levant-tinted
desert blues, filtered through deep dubby Reggae bass lines and
compelling Maghreb rhythms. This charged and infectious winning
musical formula of traditional meets urban has been handed down from
their father and gleaned from YouTube, whilst their lyrical themes
centre around the natural world, love, and travel. This latter point
is a poignant one for TootArd having grown up in the occupied Syrian
Golan Heights. Their idyllic small village in the Majdal Shams
mountains is constrained by borders yet inhabited by people
restricted by their ID pass - Laissez Passer - leaving them
effectively stateless & without a sense of belonging. But in
TootArd’s case, their bold, unique, and inventive sounds qualify
them as citizens of the world-class musician community, and
fortunately for all of us, a musical passport to freedom. Find
