Following a stomping performance at Body & Soul this weekend, Songhoy Blues have wasted no time in plotting a return to Irish shores.
The Malian band will bring their desert R&B tunes to Whelan's in October. Heavily influenced by an upbringing on hip-hop and Hendrix, their style is a marriage of funky grooves and tasty licks honed during an apprenticeship on the live scene in their native country.
Tickets for the October 21 show are on sale from Thursday, priced at €22.
