Afro Celts Concert History

Actually called the Afro Celt Sound System*, this band was formed by producer Simon Emmerson with a mission to combine Celtic and African music with modern technology. For the "Afro" part, Emmerson enlisted N'Faly Kouyate and Moussa Sissokho; for the "Celt" part, there are James McNally and Iarla Ó Lionáird; and for "Sound System" there is Martin Russell. With the addition of Johnny Kalsi, they could easily add an "Indo" to the name. Personnel has varied considerably from release to release.
