WorldBeatUK with Glyn Phillips - Dog Days & Waterways (09/05/2016)

Glyn Phillips, gets us in the mood for the Dog Days of Summer and takes us for a leisurely musical punt up and down some of the world's great Waterways.

So expect to hear Dutch Soul, New Orleans Brass, Romanian Brass and a multi-national project that spans the longest river on the planet! There's African ex-pats from the Congo, Senegal and Ghana now living and working in the USA and the UK; South American ex-pats now living and working in New York and a South African guitarist playing West African kora music... Oh, and a Senegalese kora maestro teaming up with a Welsh harp maestra!

Add to that: Puerto Rican plena, Gothic Czech ethno-metal, Ecuadorian ando-amazonian trip-hop, vintage Guadeloupian music, sweet Jamaican reggae, jazz and acapella from Johannesburg, zydeco and funk from Louisiana, country cajun from Herefordshire and a sonic architect! Enjoy!
