“We're talking sax-god James Morton (Herbaliser) heading up a live 5 piece band formed of some of his professional musical friends - top international talents who just happen to be local. Cats like Kasabian's Ian Matthews (drums) and Gary Alesbrook (horns), Alex Hutchings, John Pearce - and plenty of surprise visits too.”

“This combo pulled together by trumpeter Gary Alesbrook recalls his time with Lynden David Hall and other contemporary R'n'B artists with a super tight rhythm section and the spot-on vocal talents of Marie Lister bringing his compelling soul-jazz compositions to highly danceable life.”

“They made their name in the 80s conscious reggae scene and the reformed Talisman are still true to those roots but they've also moved on and the new tunes have a fresh energy that belies their veteran status.”

“Aji Pa'ti is the sonic collision of ancient and modern, folklore and tropical, Latin America and Europe. It is the bridge between tradition and fusion. The secret of Aji Pa'ti's inimitable style lies in the interplay between charango, guitar and ukelele and the contagious driving rhythm section of timbales, bass and congas. Indira Roman's voice effortlessly soars over the classic Lating American polyrhythms, creating one of the most exciting bands to emerge out of the Uk in recent years. Hailing from Cuba, Colombia, Jamaica, Australia and Britain, Aji pa ti are a truly international band whose original material has ignited many dance floors across the UK. This is the new tropical folk sound!”
