Rhiannon Giddens' new album - dwells in the quiet times where people live fully with each other

American folk singer-songwriter Rhiannon Giddens' new album 'the is no Other' (lowercase and capitalisation are intentional), is a collaborative concept Italian jazz multi-instrumentalist Francesco Turrisi, merging Giddens' banjo playing with Turrisi, who draws on North African, Middle Eastern and Italian traditions. This cross-over shows "the ease with which the boundaries of genre and nationality can be broken through music", NPR says in review. Glide Magazine likes the duet part: "This is a magical listen from as tight a partnership as you’ll hear".
