Description
There are more regal shenanigans this week (65 years to the day since Betty Windsor became queen whilst up a tree) hence the show title: "A Right Royal Carry On"!
Glyn Phillips delves into the events of the 6th of February throughout history with loads of world music involving kings, queens, princes and princesses which takes in Cuba's Rudy Calzado, Mali's Toumani Diabate, America's Taj Mahal (the bluesman, not the building!), Jamaica's Skatalites and Europe's Manu Chao and Fissunix!
We celebrate the birthday of the king of reggae, Bob Marley, take a listen to Maori New Zealand (on Waitangi Day), indulge in 'joiking' for Lapland's Sami National Day, mark International Day of Zero Tolerance to Female Genital Mutilation with rap from Niger, the birthday of England's greatest landscape gardener, Capability Brown, with music from Cambodia, Hungary & the US, delight in the varied sounds of Taiwan and let Gil Scott Heron lay into America's original B-Movie President, Ronald Reagan.
