The Global Underground show 13 broadcast 30th April 2020

On this week's show of The Global Underground, (Deal radio every Thursday at 6pm) I play three guitar virtuosos from Australia, Jamaica, and Spain: Tommy Emmanuel, Ernest Ranglin, and Paco de Lucia. Step back in time with Family and Roger Chapman's incredible voice, and John Martyn with an acoustic song from his seminal album Solid Air.

Mix yourself an early weekend Mojito and listen to Cuban salsa with legendary Celia Cruz, while Angelique Kidjo delivers samba tunes with an old Carlos Santa song. Continuing with sunny sounds, we have the lilting voice of Hawaiian Bla Pahinuia with Ry Cooder, Senegalese star Cheikh Lo, and probably the biggest star you may never have heard of, Egyptian Amr Diab the biggest selling singer ever in the Middle East.

Last but not least, Uilleann Pipe maestro Davy Spillane ends the show with a haunting lament.
