"Extra Golden
Signed to label: Thrill Jockey
From: Kenya

A collaboration between DC outfit Golden’s Ian Eagleson and Alex Minoff (the latter also plays in Weird War) and drummer Onyango Wuod Omari and guitarist/singer Otieno Jagwasi of the Kenyan benga band Orchestra Extra Solar Africa."

These guys wail. They played one of the best sets I saw last year. They managed to get the entire tent dancing despite getting the crappy noon slot. Incredible. They are opening up for Baaba Maal & Oliver Mtukudzi. I am obliged to inform you that I know nowt about the other two acts. Actually I think i've seen Baaba Maal at Glastonbury via the TV at some point. They have clips of all the bands etc here though
