Description
On February's WorldBeatUK, Glyn Phillips investigates more recent and forthcoming releases from around the world. There's music from Malawi, Mexico, Colombia, Scotland, Portugal, Siberia, Finland, the USA, Brazil, England, Canada, Japan via Italy, São Tome e Príncipe, Burkina Faso and Ireland!
This month's featured album is My Little Book, Tome 2 by Quebec's Francois Couture and his gypsy jazz outfit.
We take in Dreamworlds, whisperers, Finnish ambient lullabies, night dreamers and sleepwalking; there are wild games, old cows and seagulls; librarians, stories and books.
We hear the echoes of souls, see the flash of the spirit and experience the breaking of a mother's heart; there are clerks and cleaning ladies, foxes and shoes, spirals and bridges; origins and roots; herds and hypernovas. As one artist asks: What Does It Mean?
I don't know - but take a listen anyway!
