Solo Guitar Experiments

Italian guitarist Francesca Naibo talks about her debut solo album Namatoulee. Francesca’s music is a unique and colourful sonic experience that explores the instrument’s acoustic and electric possibilities from roaring drones to microscopic vibrations. Plus, music from Ariana Tikao, a leading figure in the taonga pūoro (Māori musical instruments) revival, and a thrilling call and response between pianist Liam Noble and saxophone player Paul Dunmall on a quartet album that features Mark Sanders on drums and John Edwards on bass.
