Interpreter: Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars
Label: Cumbancha
Location: Sierra Leone

Formed in the camps of west Africa housing those fleeing from the Sierra Leonian civil war, the Refugee All Stars countered their aimless existence by making music. Today, their irrrepressible mix of Congolese rumba and Afrobeat has made them into one of Europe's most popular live acts. Their third album is produced by Amy Winehouse-producer and retro-meister Ticklah.
