Nicky Bomba was searching for the essence of what turns him on with music via new project Bustamento. He tells Izzy Tolhurst, “It’s like Gilligan’s Island meets Kramer!”

World music stalwarts Ganga Giri might have a comfy home in Australia, but as Izzy Tolhurst learns, it’s that “world” part that excites them the most.

"While [Victoria] Legrand suggests that Bloom, like the budding of new plant life, is “only temporary,” it seems unlikely that the band’s efforts on this album will be so fleeting, and they’ve certainly created a sound fit for all seasons."
