Bluesfest: Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars

Some of my happiest music memories from Bluesfest are watching the many outstanding musical acts from Africa: Tinariwen, Amadou et Mariam, Daby Toure and sundry others. Although the stages always seemed packed to my eyes, apparently they weren't quite the draw I perceived, because this year the festival cut back on that kind of stuff. Fortunately there was still a bit of cash in the budget for Sierre Leone's Refugee Allstars.

Reuben Koroma sings!



Ashade Pearce rocks the dreads.



Time to show off some moves!



Guitar action!



Bass-lifting action from (I think) Dennis Sannoh!



And so on!



Quite entertaining!
