NAJMA AKHTAR  - OFFICIAL  

Rolling Stone magazine, “effortless artistry and emotional daring”. 
The Observer, “The pure soaring arc of Najma’s voice remains above emulation”. 

Najma Akhtar, and her band perform music from, ‘Five Rivers’. 
This is her ninth solo album in a career that has seen her collaborate with many world-class artists, as diverse as Jah Wobble, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, Andy Summers, Basement Jaxx, Jethro Tull, Philip Glass, Gary Lucas (of Captain Beefheart) and many more. 
A musical journey, ‘Five Rivers’ begins in India at the River Ganges and continues on to Africa and the River Niger, to Great Britain and Ireland, with the River Thames and the River Shannon and across the Atlantic to the majesty of the great Mississippi River. Throughout this album, Najma explores the synergies that exist between the ancient poetic art form of the Indian Ghazal and the Western traditions of song.

Tracks from previous album are being gradually uploaded.
