The latest radio round-up of sizzling world music releases and re-releases from Mali to Burkina Faso
Saturday, 04 November 2017
Kronos Quartet go Malian
The latest of Peter Culshaw’s global music round-up of new and re-released sounds features new albums from veteran Afro-beat pioneer Tony Allen, an astonishing collaboration between revered string quartet Kronos and Malian traditionalists Trio Da Kali (pictured above) and adventurous South Italian acoustic tranciness from Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.
Other highlights include sizzling re-releases from Burkina Faso and Dream Theory From Malaya from a still futuristic-sounding Jon Hassell, plus a healing dose of carnatic vibes from Jyotsna Srikanth and monstrous funk from other points of the compass. The show is hoted by the estimable Music Box Radio UK https://www.musicboxradio.co.uk/
