British rock meets afro-sound from Gambia. The sound of a nation with no borders, a place that needs no passport, no visa. This is where the deep roots of African music nourish the raw electric groove of rock and roll, where Gnawa spirit rhythms come up against Chicago distortion, where snaky N’awlins rhythm has a West London howl, and a Sahel Wail.
Hubert von Goisern plays AVO Session
Austrian folk music mixed with rock’n roll: that makes the unique style of the Austrian singer/songwriter Hubert von Goisern. In the autumn of 2005, Hubert von Goisern presented his grandest project yet: the Linz Europe Tour 2007-2009. He travels along the waterways of Europe for three years on a specially adapted cargo ship, complete with a stage. A festival in the form of a large-scale concert event lasting several days and bringing together the artists of the Linz Europe Tour will be held to mark this occasion in the European Capital of Culture.
