Hip-hop trio keep it in the Rusangano Family

As they release their new album today in Cork, Rusangano Family tell Don O’Mahony of their life-changing sojourn to the SXSW festival.

THE annual South By Southwest music festival held each March in Austin, Texas, has long been one of the hippest and most buzz-worthy of music industry events. Yet, as with many things in life, it has begun to attract a groundswell of jaded commentary.

But a mere week on from the event it’s clear the senses of Clare-Limerick hip-hop trio Rusangano Family have yet to be dulled by such occasions. Like kids with the proverbial golden ticket they’re still on a high from the experience.
