New album "Beyond Bridges" out now!

In February this year we commenced recording for a new album. Check out the video below for a sneak peak of Azadoota in action in the studio. On the day we filmed, Ahmed was laying down the oud parts (in between making phone calls, drinking tea and playing ping pong). Some of the new songs you can hear in the clip are Shakita, Hey Maro, Destiny and Joshie's Song.  The album was recorded at Studios 301 Sydney with producers Tim Carr and Robin's eldest son Zac Haider-Keene.

We're in a book about World Music!

It's always a thrill to see our name in print, even if it's just in the Drum Media gig guide, but now we're really proud and excited because we're in an actual book! Edited by music journalist Seth Jordan, "World Music - Global sounds in Australia" explores the stories of performers and music-lovers who have significantly contributed to the development of Australia's World Music scene. "Concentrating primarily on those artists who have been able to expand beyond their individual communities since the 1980s - bridging across to larger audiences by way of recordings and performances at clubs, concerts and festivals - it provides an overview of the key moments in the genre's history in Australia, profiles some of the major artists involved, and looks at many of the organisations and individuals who have contributed to the Aussie world scene."
