What's On?

A special gig in Neuadd Ogwen this Friday

EMMANUEL JAL & NYARUACH + DJ Eddy Scissorhands

Back in the early eighties Emmanuel Jal was taken from his home in Southern Sudan and was holding a gun by the age of 9, one of many child soldiers in the war torn region. These days his weapon is a microphone.

Emmanuel has released six award nominated studio albums over the years since his rescue : The Key, Gua, Ceasefire, Warchild, See Me Mama, and Naath. Naath, released in June 2018, is an infectious afrobeats infused album Jal made with his highly talented sister Nyaruach. His live appearances have included Live 8, Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert, and the One Concert for his Holiness the Dalai Lama. He has collaborated and performed alongside such artists as Lauryn Hill, Peter Gabriel, Nelly Furtado, Joss Stone, Ed Sheeran, Nile Rodgers, and Alicia Keys.
