Raphael Rogiński is a Polish guitarist, composer and performer, improviser, cultural animator and researcher of musical folklore. Trained in jazz and classical music, he expanded his education to include musicology and ethnomusicology, his interests ranging widely, as heard on innumerable group and ensemble projects. Notable solo releases include 2015’s ‘Raphael Roginski plays John Coltrane and Langston Hughes African mystic music’, or last year’s ‘Talán’, of which Pitchfork writes “there is a numinous power in his instrumental songs—enchanted, uncanny, swarming with ghosts.”

Following a series of more collaged, abstract releases, London-based Genghis Cohn aka Gil Shani quietly released a truly special LP called ‘Iron Day’ towards the end of last year - a collection of twelve magnificently crafted, timeless and direct songs which move from heartfelt serenades to devilish summonings about devotional bone temples. The record has already become an all-time QWAK club favourite. A deceivingly talented finger-picking guitarist with a rich, enigmatic baritone, expect high rewards on becoming familiar with the curious and intricate music of Genghis Cohn.
