Julian Bel Bachir | Music Series

Deadly Voices from the House

Taken under the wing of leading instrumentalists and griots after studying with some of Africa’s most highly respected masters, Julian Bel Bachir has worked with incredible bands and musicians from around the world. His works voyage through traditional melodies of Indigenous music from North-Western Africa with a modern influence. Accompanied by a collective of musicians of Saharan and sub-Saharan ethnic backgrounds the seasoned producer and musician fuses traditional folkloric African music together with contemporary influences and modern production. This conversation, recorded in July 2020 is hosted by our former Head of First Nations, Rhoda Roberts and they are joined by featured artist, Moussa Diakite (Malian).
