...read moreSarazino returns in May 2012 with the amazing new album Everyday Salama featuring Sabina Sciubba from Brazilian Girls, Novalima, Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, Rootz Underground, Luísa Maita and many other special guests.
Produced by the legendary Victor Axelrod aka Ticklah (known for his work with Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings, Amy Winehouse, Easy Star All Stars, Antibalas), Radio Salone marks the Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars' most musically sophisticated collection of songs to date.
Israeli superstar Idan Raichel and Malian guitar virtuoso Vieux Farka Touré first met at an airport in Germany in 2008 while both were on tour. From this chance encounter an artistic kinship was born, culminating in an unscripted recording session that took place one afternoon in November 2010 in a small Tel Aviv studio.
