Dakar, Senegal - Portuguese world music band Terrakota is recording its new album in Xippy Studios in Dakar-Senegal. The recording will be released in May on Zonamusica. The band is already confirmed to play at Rock-In-Rio Lisboa, at the world music stage, alongside Angelique Kidjo, The Klezmatics and Manecas Costa on May 30.
Terrakota is a collective that came about after many a journey and quest. Seven young musicians took to the road, and the many meetings and adventures they had, turned them into Terrakota. This is how they describe their music: "Terrakota is a crucible for organic music that has African roots but feeds on sounds from the Sahara, the Caribbean, India and the West, all this while basking in the Jamaican sun".
