WorldBeatUk with Glyn Phillips - Summer Madness (28/06/2016)

Glyn Phillips brings you another two hours of new, recent or forthcoming world music albums. But it's also the first show after Britain's EU Referendum and leads Glyn to ponder on the divisive nature of the aftermath and the rise of xenophobia in the UK - all this amidst Refugee Week. Summer Madness indeed.

He plays music from a multi-national album called "Amerli: Refugees For Refugees" and also from the album "Adana" where a Turkish musician and an Armenian musician come together to make music designed to bring people rather than drive them apart.

There is also new and old music from Brazil, Colombia, Cabo Verde, Portugal, Ireland, the States, Argentina, France, Canada and Mexico. And we discover little heard music from the Balkans as well as from the Yiddish & Klezmer canon. Finally an Indian brother and sister ponder the intricacies of the mind.

Now, there's a thought . . .

A sobering - often sombre - week, but hopefully an invigorating, thoughtful show.
