Lute Junction

Jennifer Lucy Allan shares sounds from the global family of lute instruments, from the Indian vina to the Georgian panduri. Plus domestic collages from Jamaican producer Gavsborg.

For one night only, Late Junction becomes Lute Junction as we explore sounds created on instruments from the extensive lute family. Jennifer Lucy Allan leads our whistlestop tour, sharing pieces from the Renaissance to the present day from all corners of the globe. There’ll be carnatic music performed with the Indian vina and Xylouris White’s meditative repetitions on the Cretan lute as well as sounds by the panduri that accompanies traditional polyphonic singing in Georgia. There’ll be experiments on the Chinese pipa accompanied by field recordings from duo Southeast of Rain, and transportative rituals from Gnawa legend Maalem Mahmoud Gania’s guembri, a three-stringed bass lute.

It won’t all be lute-shaped though, Elsewhere there'll be new releases from Jamaican collective Equiknoxx’s Gavsborg and his joyous living-room collages to traditional Yiddish songs reinterpreted by experimental cellist Francesca Ter-Berg.
