WorldBeatUK with Glyn Phillips - More New Releases (13/06/2016)

Glyn Phillips presents music in praise of West African Kings, Calypso Queens, Ethiopian Emperors and the Chief Deity of all afro-cuban orishas: Obatalá!

There's music in search of the female spirit from Toledo and fandangos from La Mancha. Unique male voices from Corsica and the Czech Republic. Scottish bagpipes and Boricuan boleros. Songs about shy girls from South Africa and Gilles Peterson's retro-contemporary homage to Brazil.

From North America we have an ode to tax-free money from Canada, some lumberjack blues from America and some Yuca-inspired fusion from Miami. Check out the Bangladeshi-inspired band from London, cactus-inspired jazz from Mexico and Brittany-inspired music from a Japanese pianist.

The talent is simply oozing out of this show - from a young singer-songwriter from Spain up to a septuagenarian living-legend from Brazil.

And you mustn't miss some San Franciscans doing the Touzel Twofer or an Englishman and an Italian living La Dolce Vita!
