The Bloomsbury Festivalis taking place this weekend in the famous London neighbourhood located in the heart of the city, in the borough of Camden.
And the heart of the events was located in Russell Square's Garden, with a book and craft market, some barbecues and a central stage dedicated to World Music and put into place by SOAS, the School of Oriental and African Studies of the University of London.
Among the musicians, Run, a band formed of four British singers collecting songs and melodies from the six Celtic languages, the Senegalese musician Laye Sow, the Zimbabweans composers ans interpreters from Harare Muic and the lovely Sudanese Italian Amira Kheir.
Amira Kheir is a Sudanese-Italian singer/songwriter singer based in London, UK, creating a unique style of what she calls 'Sudani Jazz'.
Her debut album named 'View from Somewhere' has been released last month and she'll be back on stage in London on November 9th, in the National Theatre Foyer, in London South Bank.
In the meantime, I was introduced to her and we agreed she should be interviewed again on Vox Africa for the occasion!
So looking forward to this interview...
