A highly in demand musician both on stage and in the studio, the percussionist and composer\u2019s gifts were first noticed by Bj\u00f6rk, and he has performed and recorded with an impressive list of artists, including Anoushka Shankar, Poppy Ackroyd, the London Symphony Orchestra, The Cinematic Orchestra, \u00d3lafur Arnalds, and many others. Following on from his collaboration with Anoushka Shankar, the pair will bring a special performance to Le Guess Who?, with the Metropole Orkest Strings conducted by Jules Buckley. Needless to say we can\u2019t wait for this performance, and we asked Delago which bands he\u2019s most looking forward to.
