BBC Radio 6 Music - BBC Introducing with Tom Robinson, With Tanya Auclair

Tom presents more great internet discoveries, featuring Tanya Auclair in session.

Hailing from west London, via Canada and Rwanda - Tanya Auclair's musical upbringing straddled very different worlds. Citing influences as wide-ranging as Bongo Joe Coleman, Juana Molina, The Staple Singers, Laurie Anderson, Matthew Herbert and E.S.G, her open instinctive approach shows in the territory she covers in a beguiling mix of playful DIY drums, layers of voice, intricate melodies and touches of electronica.

Early vocal-body percussion work with jazz pioneer Leon Parker and an excitement for music made from 'minimal means' gave rise to her disinctive sound and compelling one-woman-band show. She builds her songs live on stage, sampling her voice with a loop pedal, playing ukulele, guitar and percussion.
