Rising Appalachia Information
Rising Appalachia is an Appalachian folk music group. The current lineup consists of Duncan Wickel (fiddle and cello), Arouna Diarra (percussion, talking drum, balafon, and ngoni), David Brown (banjo, baritone guitar, and upright bass), Biko Casini (percussion, congas, ngoni, bara, and djembe), Chloe Smith (percussion, kalimba, washboard, banjo, fiddle, and vocals), and Leah Song (tinkly percussive things, bodhran, kalimba, fiddle, banjo, poetics, and vocals).
Additionally, Leah is a solo performer. The sisters collaborate with various international musicians from their bases in Atlanta, New Orleans, and Asheville, North Carolina. Their music features simple harmonics on banjos and fiddles to various drums, kalimbas, beatboxes, djembes, balafons, and more.
Rising Appalachia is not affiliated with any other major labels. The initiative was first managed, developed, and sold by the sisters alone; it was only later that they brought on additional help. They independently recorded and released their first four albums. In 2011, they used the crowdfunding website Kickstarter to gather $11,180 in 30 days to record their fifth studio album, Filthy Dirty South.
Many international countries have hosted Rising Appalachia performances, including Colombia, Costa Rica, Canada, India, Puerto Rico, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Ireland, and Scotland.
