This weekend at Roskilde Festival in Denmark, Damon Albarn performed a 5-hour set with the Africa Express Project that included a cover of the Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go", which he performed with Nick Zinner, Jeff Wooten, and Seye Adeklan. Watch video below.
After the marathon set (which ended around 4 AM), Albarn was told he had to stop, so he encouraged the audience to keep cheering so that he could continue to perform. The crowd obliged to such an extent that security came out and literally carried Albarn off stage. Watch video and other select performances from the show below.
Africa Express is an organization that brings together musicians from multiple cultures, continents, and genres. They've put on concerts in Europe and Africa, and have released a series of recorded projects, including a film that featured Damon Albarn, Brian Eno, and Nick Zinner called Terry Riley's In C Mali.
