Dear Friends and Global Music Lovers!
Tomorrow’s WorldBeatUK is all set to be one of the most
wide-ranging and diverse sets to date with the likes of
Natacha Atlas’s global fusion, Latvian Folk,
Jamaico-Italiano Reggae Cumbiano, Russian Gypsy romance,
Finnish Klezmer Punk, Portuguese Fado and Malian Blues.
Add to that updated Kenyan traditional music from
the Nairobi City Ensemble,
the pan-European gypsy band The Other Europeans performing
a piece from the 'Klezmer/Lautari Suite No 2',
one of the world’s leading oud players
- Ara Dinkjian of Armenia -
one of the world’s leading trumpeters
- Hugh Masekela -
and the amazing Lebanese trumpeter,
Ibrahim Maalouf bringing the blues
to the Levant in his own particular style.
We also take in Brazil’s Baiana System, Valencia’s Supa Bassie,
Japan’s Shunsuke Kimura & Etsuro Ono, Kenya’s Olith Ratego and
Denmark’s anglophile folksters - the Basco Band.
Surely you must be convinced by now?
If not then expect the coolest soul-funk
from The Soul Sessions (Agogo Records),
the tub-thumping American folk of The Water Bucket Boys and
we relive the moment 40 years ago when
one of America’s most influential bluesmen, Howlin’ Wolf,
came over to England for 1971s “London Sessions”
to record with members of the Stones, the Beatles,
Stevie Winwood and others
and ended up teaching them all a lesson in the blues.
Priceless!
As ever, expect some surprises, loads of good music and a bit of banter!
Spread the word, tell yer mates, fling ‘em a link and join me
for yet another transglobal adventure!
7pm (UK time) - Don’t be late! I’ll be waiting . . .
