Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi in Session

Another chance to hear Grammy Award winners Rhiannon Giddens & Francesco Turrisi in session.

Rhiannon Giddens is now a two-time winner and eight-time Grammy nominee for her work as a soloist and collaborator. She most recently won a Grammy Award for Best Folk Album for They're Calling Me ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ, which she made with Italian multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi. Called 'a musical alchemist' by the Irish Times, Turrisi is a Turin-born musician whose Dublin base reflects his global sensibilities. Through a chance musical meet-up in Ireland, they found that Giddens’ 19th century American minstrel banjo tunes and Turrisi’s traditional Sicilian Tamburello (tambourine) rhythms fit very naturally together. This is another chance to hear Rhiannon and Francesco in session on Travelling Folk - recorded in ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Aberdeen in April 23.
