Description
In the first of TWO 2-hour WorldBeatUKs for April 2020, Brum Radio's resident world music aficionado Glyn Phillips plays you music from Mauritius, Madagascar, Netherlands, Colombia, the USA, England, Scotland, Ghana, Turkey, Taiwan, Spain, Estonia, Uruguay, Germany, Canada and Algeria (via France).
We hear rare indigenous Taiwanese music and new albums by Tuareg rockers Tamikrest, LA latin folkers Cuñao and festival favourites The Amsterdam Klezmer Band!
There's also re-releases and cassette compilations of Turkish elektro-saz music and the tsapiky guitar music of Madagascar. We get to hear sega music from Mauritius, virtuoso accordion vallenato from Colombia and experimental Estonian folk.
And what about the amazing highlife sound of Ghana's Santrofi or the beautiful vocals of Canada's Maya Rae or Scotland's Siobhan Miller? The sublime harmonies of English duo, The Last Inklings or the deep American sounds of Eileen Rose, Jeffrey Foucault and Nels Andrews? And much more too!
