Music Beyond Mainstream presents African Soul Rebels 2010. Last year was perhaps THE year for African Nostaglia and in particular the funky sounds of West African dance bands. So what better timing to bring one of the best, Orcheste Polyrythmo back to the UK for a National tour. Add Grammy nominee Oumou Sangare, who's album Seya has been described simply as " magnificent". Start it all with a Soweto Dub poet, post punk experimental electronica from Kalahari Surfers and African Soul Rebels 2010 is shaping up to be possibly the best one yet.
