The Imagined Village

The Imagined Village is a Singer/Songwriter group from United Kingdom, formed on January 1, 2007.

The Imagined Village is an English folk musical project founded by Simon Emmerson (of the Afro Celt Sound System) in 2004. It is intended to produce modern folk music that represents modern multiculturalism in the United Kingdom and as such, features musicians from a wide variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The name of the project comes from the 1993 book The Imagined Village by Georgina Boyes. The project started in 2004 and led to the release of an eponymous album in 2007 on Real World Records. .
