Cerys Hafana recorded a beautiful state51 Factory session with saxophonist Amie Huckstep. It's the perfect soundtrack for a late autumn day.

"Cerys Hafana’s approach to traditional music is one of transformation: taking the essence of trad repertoire and marrying this with contemporary sensibilities to produce their atmospheric, folk-inspired sound.

The Welsh triple harpist and composer joined us at the very end of a densely-packed tour before setting off home to rural mid-Wales - not failing to treat us to a stunning set and give our sound engineer Harri a chance to flex his Welsh-speaking muscles before they left.

Performing today on piano, and joined by saxophonist Amie Huckstep, Cerys performed the beautiful yet ever-foreboding Welsh May carol ‘Carol Mynyddog’, a delicate cover of Swci Boscawen’s ‘Adar y Nefoedd’ and the serene ‘Yr Osteg’ (translating as “the still”)."

To celebrate the release of her acclaimed new album "Yenbett," Noura Mint Seymali has released an in situ video for the song "Lehjibb"(لحجب). Well worth a look!

"First album in almost a decade from the Mauritanian force of nature: Moorish griot music meets scorching desert rock, sung with a riveting, raw-throated passion.” UNCUT

“Primarily written to get people moving at weddings - with the album building in intensity until the last dancer standing ought to be fit to drop - it has both swing and a kick-the-doors-in aggression. This is Electric Sand.” **** MOJO

“[Noura Mint Seymali’s] playing on the traditional Mauritanian harp, the ardine, is spectacular. Some passages bend the mind with their virtuosity, as notes cascade over each other like water tumbling over rocks. Her voice is a clarion call, absolutely clear with rafter-ringing power...” **** Songlines

“… the music smoulders and flames ... "Guéreh" is studded with dubbed-out, blissful echoes amid the off-kilter rhythms. "Knou" limbers up slowly but sparks into a gritty guitar solo ... On "Tassirit" she chides and cajoles her own heart; "Ch'tib (Naha)" is a plea from the depths of isolation, propelled heavenwards by bass and handclaps, for succour from the divine.” **** Financial Times

✨ Nusantara Beat — where heritage and new sound meet ✨

“Every time we make something new, I feel closer to my family, the band, and myself. It’s like with each song we discover a little more of who we are.”
— Megan, Nusantara Beat

Rhythm Passport’s in-depth feature follows the band from half-remembered family melodies to the creation of their debut album — a project shaped by Sundanese traditions, pelog tuning, and the lived experiences of Dutch-Indonesian musicians reconnecting with their roots.

It’s a beautiful look at how music becomes a bridge: between generations, between places, and between who you were and who you’re becoming.

Nusantara Beat didn’t form around a manifesto. It began with a shared sense of curiosity: six musicians in Amsterdam reaching for half-remembered melodies, fa

Nusantara Beat: **** de Volkskrant

"Listen to Nusantara Beat through headphones, and the songs open up: the surf guitars, the synthesizers, the grooving bassline, the excellent percussion (by brothers Gino and Sonny Groeneveld, known from Jungle by Night). There's a hypnotism going on."
