Description
In this special, extra episode of WorldBeatUK, Glyn Phillips takes us on a journey through a 40 year old dream, its birth 10 years ago, the ups and downs of making the shows, disappearing radio stations, his thoughts on world music, the music industry and the changes over the last decade.
It's all interspersed with music that has appeared on WorldBeatUK from the very first show onwards - expect to hear crazy balkan brass and rock mashups, Gypsy breakcore, Ghanaian highlife, Colombian big band gaita, and reggaeton, Congolese soukous, Malian afrobeat, English folk, New York afrobeat funk, Argentinian electro-folklore, Portuguese fado, Cape Verdean funaná, lush vocals from Brazil, Senegalese kora fusion, flamenco guitar/sitar fusion, Siberian-German ambient etherealness, a Cameroonian with a grievance against Albert Einstein, and Mozart and the Beatles as interpreted by Bulgarian, Egyptian and Tunisian orchestras!
The regular WorldBeatUK will be back on Brum Radio on Mon 5 April (8pm)
