Youth and community groups have the opportunity to come to A World Music Celebration - The Winners of the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 30th July for the special price of £2.50 per ticket.

This year's event will feature an amazing new talent coming out of China: Sa Dingding, winner of the Asia Pacific region who is described as China’s Bjork, mixes traditional instruments with modern arrangements.

As well as Sa Dingding the artists performing in this year’s event will be:  Cape Verdean Mayra Andrade winner of the Newcomer award, whose beauty and caressing voice is said to “overwhelm souls and sway hearts”; One of the key movers in modern Mali and West African music, Bassekou Kouyate, winner of the African region and Best Album, is a striking and virtuoso player of the ngoni (traditional African lute); Justin Adams & Juldeh Camara, winners of Culture Crossing award, have been described as a “wickedly funky live blues showdown” by Metro. Producer/guitarist Adams and Gambian griot and master of the one string fiddle, Camara, provide an inspired collaboration of desert blues boogie!; and Spain’s Son de La Frontera, winner of the European region, blend flamenco and Cuban guitars they create a distinctive, silvery sound.  

Produced by SERIOUS, the event will for the first time be part of the BBC Proms and to celebrate we are offering groups the amazing price of £2.50 per ticket.  For more information please get in touch with: Cameron Reynolds, Learning CoordinatorSERIOUS PH: 020 7324 1880email: This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it  51 Kingsway PlaceSans WalkLondon EC1R 0LU www.serious.org.uk
