\"\"<\/a>Vula Viel<\/a> have been hinting at a new album for a while now, after turning heads with their 2015 outstanding debut album Good is Good<\/em> and explosive live shows. Entitled Do Not Be Afraid<\/em>, the upcoming record is due out this year, and it saw bandleader Bex Burch return to western Ghana, to continue studying, making and playing the Gyil, a large xylophone used as a primary instrument by the Dagaare tribe. With the Gyil again taking centre stage, Do Not Be Afraid<\/em> is influenced by the culture and rhythmic traditions of the Dagaare.<\/p>\n

Now a trio, featuring Jim Hart on drums and Ruth Goller on bass, Vula Viel have recently announced a live date at the Vortex Jazz Club in London on May 27th. Known for their exhilarating and entrancing performances, and with the highly anticipated Do Not Be Afraid<\/em> under their belt, this will be a date not to be missed. Tickets are on sale now,\u00a0 just head here<\/a> to snap one up.<\/p>\n

While we wait for Vula Viel\u2019s new album, revisit their debut Good Is Good<\/em> on bandcamp<\/a> and listen to the opening track ‘Yes Yaa Yaa’ below.
