Sudan - Following the workshops and event at the National Museum in Khartoum, Raw
Material are planning new projects with the British Council later in 2014 to engage with
local young people in learning about and producing music, and introducing some new
technology in the process. Our DJ producer Wu-Lu and rapper MC Potent Whisper have laid
down the foundations for a productive relationship and will grow. The British Council in
Khartoum are pleased with the results so far and see this as an important cultural
collaboration.



Australia - We are starting to plan for a second Australian Raw Roads tour to work
with the indigenous communities in the Northern Territory in September.



Senegal - Raw Material are once again representing the UK at FETSA2H, the
international hip hop festival in Dakar, June 4-8. Newly signed rapper Knytro and DJ Wu-Lu
