Green Man Festival Special Feat. Nalle, Juana Molia and Tunng

Nalle, Juana Molia and Tunng live Green Man Festival Special
Podcast August 2006


This show brings together some highlights from this year's Green
Man festival, held in the dramatically beautiful surrounds of the
Brecon Beacons in late August. For the last four years the
festival has grown in size, bringing together a diverse selection
of artists all influenced in some way by folk and roots music,
from the percussive and hypnotic electronics of Steve Reid and
Keiran Hebden to the sublime folk / blues explorations of
folk-revival legends Bert Jansch and John Renbourn, with
countless acoustic singer-songwriters.

For this show, we have chosen to present highlights from the live
sets of Nalle, Juana Molina and Tunng.

Glasgow's Nalle comprise former members of the
extended folk-improv-drone-jazz outfit Scatter, continuing and
focussing many of the collective's preoccupations: drawing on
traditional folksong, psychedelic minimalism, in a spirit of
playful experimentation and structural freedom. The voice of
Hanne, at once soothing and astringent, meshes with shruti box
drones, wooden and straw percussion, viola, bouzouki, oud and
other instruments yet more exotic to create a beautifully
haunting and uncanny atmosphere.

Juana Molina, an extraordinary singer-songwriter
from Buenos Aires, whose graceful and hypnotic music, flows from
her acoustic guitar, askew live electronics and her mesmerising
voice. Formerly a celebrated TV comic in her native Argentina,
she has released several albums since 1996, three of which have
been released on Domino Records in the UK, the most recent being
'Son' from which much of her Green Man set was taken.

Tunng play a mesmerising mix of folk-influenced
acoustic music and busy electronica, overlaying electronic
crackles, vocal harmonies, bewitching mantras and synthetic
rhythms. Their two albums on Static Caravan and their prolific
touring schedule have gathered them a substantial
following.
