The Other Edge - Album launch tour

A subtle blnd of Jazz and traditional West-African music.

Raaga Trio plays a subtle blend of jazz and traditional West-African music and was created in 2007 following a meeting of three musicians all from different backgrounds whilst rehearsing on another project. They started creating music together, each drawing on their own style and searching for new ways of creating compositions in a completely organic way - they never talk about what they are going to play - they just play.

The word "Raaga" meaning "market" comes from the local Morée dialect from Burkina Faso which fittingly describes the way these musicians create their music - like exchanges in a West African Market!
