Baka Beyond (Celtic/West African)
nominated by:
Graham Ashby, Canada:
'I discovered them this year, and find I can listen to them constantly. There are so many layers on their recordings, and a wonderful mix of influences.'
Juli Kelen, USA:
'Baka Beyond have done a tremendous amount to call the music world's attention to the precarious situation of the Baka Pygmy people of the African forest... all this while creating an entirely original musical synthesis that is at once haunting and energizing. A portion of the band's profits go directly to the Baka people. Now, I call that Conscious!'
David Blagden, Rotherham:
'Their music is full of joy and spirit.'
