This is our second mix from the wonderful Buck and Shanti better known as Arborea. They were the first guests to feature a mix on Folk Radio UK so it’s a pleasure to have them back again.

Folk Radio UK is pleased to premier Arborea’s latest video for ‘Wolves’ from their latest album Red Planet which was released earlier this year. The folklorish imagery is magical and fairy-tale like.

Red Planet is a breathtaking vision of two beautiful people. It is a reflection of their travels, their hardships and jubilation. It is perfect! Read our review and watch the exclusive Philadelphia ‘Sun Room’ Sessions.

Our Indie Folk favourites, Arborea, (Buck and Shanti Curran) are working on a new album and need your help to complete the final stages of producing and promoting the record.

We recently had the pleasure of the company of Buck and Shanti Curran, better know as Arborea, who stayed with us for a night during their UK/European tour. They had just performed at the Grain Barge in Bristol with Two Wings (Hanna Tuulikki, Ben Reynolds, Kenneth Wilson, Lucy Duncombe, and Doog) in support. It was an exceptional evening. I’ll mention this more in a separate post.

We have been waiting a long time to see Arborea play and now finally they are back in the UK and will be even touching down in Bristol which is right on our doorstep! So we’re very very happy! We’re big fans, in case you didn’t guess! Arborea are Buck and Shanti who, amongst producing some of the most incredible music we play also did us a lovely mix just …

We have been following Arborea since the release of Wayfaring Summer in 2006. I have yet to come across an artist that sounds anything like them. They draw inspiration from many other great artists including Robie Basho, Martin Simpson and Tim Buckley.

This Oliver Peel session with Arborea, who are Buck Curran and his wife Shanti was recorded recently in Paris. We have been playing Arborea on Folk Radio Uk for what feels like many years. I am still as moved by their beautiful music today as I was when I first heard them.

This mix was put together for Folk Radio UK by Buck and Shanti of Arborea:
