Guitar maestri David Mitchell and Akbar Abliz returned recently from their trip to Xinjiang, and are geared up for another big Panjir gig. It's become a bit of a tradition over the last year or so that they play a special concert of Central Asian folk music (with their own unique infusions of jazz and flamenco) at Star Live for the major Muslim festivals, extending their regular 3 or 4-man lineup with an array of guest musicians - usually including traditional Uyghur percussionists and dancers.
They've missed the Eid ul-Fitr this year...... but better late than never! They're playing at Star this Sunday evening, the 12th October. Almost certainly the best show of the coming week. Do give it a try, if you're in town.
