Minafric Orchestra, with Louis Moholo, Keith Tippett & Julie Tippetts ~-~ For Mandela ~-~ Puglia, 13th September 2014

Here's one from the 2014 Talos festival in Puglia, Italy, with the Minafric orchestra playing their 'For Mandela' suite, with guests Louis Mofolo, Keith Tippett and Julie Tippetts. This is high energy and really good fun free music, almost a collision between Alan Silva's Seasons, Albert Ayler and Sun Ra.
