‘Made In Glasgow’; It Takes A Village with corto.alto…
The next edition of We Out Here Festival: It Takes A Village weekly radio series is here. A show paving the road to the festival, connecting artists from across the line up.
For this episode, corto.alto takes to the airwaves ahead of August with a snapshot of some of his favourite music coming out of Scotland right now. A celebration of the artists, friendships, and creative communities that continue to shape one of the country's most vibrant musical ecosystems.
The project of multi instrumentalist, producer, composer, and performer Liam Shortall, corto.alto has become one of the defining voices of a new generation of UK jazz. Rooted in Glasgow's fertile music scene, his work draws freely from jazz, hip hop, soul, broken beat, folk, and electronic music, blurring genres while remaining deeply connected to collaboration and collective creativity.
Featuring music from friends, peers, and long time collaborators alongside a selection of his own work, the show reflects the spirit of a scene built on mutual support. Musicians playing on each other's records, sharing ideas, showing up for one another, and helping push things forward together.
Where voices connect and communities grow, culture is almost always built together…
