Open up this week’s Billboard Magazine (10.12.2013) and check out the World Music charts- in #1 is Rokia Traore’s Beautiful Africa and #2 is Clannad’s Nádúr, featuring the voice (and compositions) of Moya Brennan.
Produced by John Parish, Beautiful Africa was recently featured on NPR’s All Things Considered and is Rokia’s first new release in five years. She has been touring in Europe and will be coming to the US in November.
Nádúr is Clannad’s first recording of new material since 1998 and is accompanied by a worldwide tour with stops already in Spain, as well as Australia and New Zealand dates at the end of October.
