Globally acclaimed music phenomenon Africa Express is back with a brand new studio album titled Africa Express presents... Bahidor, recorded in Mexico and bringing together artists and musicians from four continents. The boundarybreaking music collective has, for over two decades, united artists across countries and genres in radically creative collaborations in which anything can, and does, happen.With the idea of bringing together artists from different cultures, genres, and generations to perform and make music, Africa Express was founded in 2006 with a trip to Mali connecting local stars Toumani Diabat, Bassekou Kouyat and Amadou amp Mariam with artists including cofounder Damon Albarn, Martha Wainwright and Fatboy Slim.Each Africa Express outing is unique, filled with spontaneous moments of magic, collaboration and discovery. In 2024, Africa Express headlined Mexicos Bahidor Festival, a trip which saw an extraordinary group of musicians, singers and DJs from around the world come together to rehearse, perform and write new music on the banks of the ancient springs of Bahidor. The result is Africa Express presents...
