Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi in Session
Grammy award winners Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi join Anna for a session plus a preview of Shetland Folk Festival's showpiece concert featuring 4 Young Trad winners.
The Shetland Folk Festival kicks off tonight! A showpiece concert for the weekend will feature the last 4 title holders of ±«Óătv Radio Scotland's Young Traditional Musician of the Year. The audience can expect amazing performances and collaborative pieces from Ali Levack, Michael Biggins, Eryn Rae and Shetland's very own Amy Laurenson. Mhari McLeman tells Anna all about this one-off concert, bringing together four of Scotland’s best young folk musicians.
Rhiannon Giddens is now a two-time winner and eight-time Grammy nominee for her work as a soloist and collaborator. She most recently won a Grammy Award for Best Folk Album for They're Calling Me ±«Óătv, which she made with Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi. Called “a musical alchemist” by the Irish Times, Turrisi is a Turin-born musician whose Dublin base reflects his global sensibilities. Through a chance musical meet-up in Ireland, they found that Giddens’ 19th century American minstrel banjo tunes and Turrisi’s traditional Sicilian Tamburello (tambourine) rhythms fit very naturally together. Rhiannon and Francesco join Anna in session in ±«Óătv Aberdeen ahead of their gig at the Music Hall.
