International Busker’s Podcast

L.A. Salami (Lookman Adekunle Salami) is a singer/songwriter from London, England known for crafting magnetic blues-rock songs with a postmodern twist. He spent some time playing on street corners with nothing but a guitar and his voice and can now be heard playing his deeply poetic and philosophical music for large crowds in venues around the world.

Hugo Barriol spent two years busking on Parisian subway platforms before he got his shot at the big time. Barriol has a clear, subtly passionate vocal style that brings a warmth and relatability to his songs, most of which deal with the ups and downs of life and human relationships, with low-key accompaniment that largely focuses on acoustic instruments. Hart and Barriol talk about their humble beginnings as buskers and how it impacted the path of their careers before each sharing a live performance of their recently released songs.
