Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars – Libation

Friends! In 2014, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars will proudly celebrate the 10-year anniversary of our career with our fourth studio album, ‚Libation.‘ For these recordings, we come full circle to the rootsy, acoustic, „around the campfire“ sound that appeared on our first album, much of which was recorded in the refugee camps during the years in exile from Sierra Leone. Back then, our group was in a very different frame of mind, had yet to tour the world, and we were still raw in many ways.

Over the years we have grown and evolved to become the band we are today. This album demonstrates and celebrates how far we have come as a group. It’s a family reunion as well, as we reunite with Chris Velan, producer on the debut release. The new album was recorded in the Green Mountains of Vermont and mixed in London by Velan and renowned British producer Iestyn Polson, known for his work with David Gray, Patti Smith, David Bowie and others.

We celebrate the joy, passion for music, and love-of-life that have shaped our band, and look forward to sharing this album with you in March.
