Elliott Sharp's Terraplane, Lionel Loueke January 23, 2008

There is hardly another artist who is active in so many areas of music than Elliott Sharp. In addition to all of his innovative bands and projects Sharp also occasionally returns to the traditional. With his band Terraplane, he has been piloting the abyss of the Blues for some years now.

African guitarist and percussionist Lionel Loueke was born in Benin in 1973 and the music he writes and performs is infused with his native culture.
