Simon Emmerson
Simon is a Grammy nominated producer, guitarist and visionary extraordinaire. He also happens to be an avid bird watcher and one very cool guy. Simon hails from Hackney, East London. As a kid, he went to the Forest School Camps from the age of six. They were the prototype Green awareness camps that started in the ‘20s and ‘30s as an alternative to the boy scouts. During that time, he was brought up in the English folk tradition with the Martin Carthy and Christy Moore songbooks. He claims he can even do English folk dances. Simon is also a DJ and was a member of Scritti Politti and Working Week. The idea of combining Celtic music and African music stemmed from Simon’s work producing tracks for Baaba Maal under the pseudonym “Simon Booth” while he was “running from the law.” When Simon was in Africa working with Baaba Maal and other musicians, an elder wise man that he met in the desert told him that the ancestors were returning for music and for instruments because the power of words had become corrupted and had become the power of politics and control. It was left to the power of music to get the message across. Simon brought together Jo Bruce, Ron Aslan, Ronan Browne, Davy Spillane, Ayub Ogada, Masamba Diop, Kauwding Cissokho, Myrdhin, James McNally and Martin Russell to create Volume 1: Sound Magic. What a message! The rest is history. Check out Simon’s biography on the Working Week website for more information about Simon’s impressive musical background.

Speaking of stupid auto corrects, what is with the space in between afro and celt? Every album I have ever purchased has had the words joined as AFROCELTS

What is it with that stupid autocorrect function? Unable to do one right thing for once and merge Afro Celts with Afro Celt Sound System...

Cyberia is a great song, this guys have their merit. - It sounds they are much oriented to xperimental & fusion rythms. I have to admit their music although oriented also to pop music reveals their deep efforts and years of musical study. - Congratulations!!! Great Band!

interesting stuff. but i never understood why their eclectic fusion pop on 'seed' is called world, folk, ethnic, african, celtic, electronic.

'Afrocelts' is the proper tag if you're listening to Seed. Prior to and after that album, Afro Celt Sound System is correct. The two names really ought to be merged.
