Thanks John - I will listen to that. Ian turns up in some unexpected places. Being a piece about music, it dovetails quite well with the competition for writing a poem on a Proms performance. - Lat.

He's very thorough and I have always found him competitively priced - but he keeps stopping to give you a wee tune!Originally posted by Paul Sherratt View PostJohn,

Being at a loose end waiting to go out on Saturday I dropped in on Loose Ends on Radio 4 for 10 minutes - I heard 'rising star' Fatoumata Diawara who was OK without being particularly distinctive, though it's hard on that show since performers tend to get only one song. However I was drawn to this upcoming two-parter on R4, starting this Saturday morning called Taboo De Doo - A History of Musical Political Incorrectness - they interviewed Terrence Blacker who presents it.
....though why the blurb suggests it's surprising that Randy Newman makes an appearance is a surprise to me.
......might sound more interesting than it actually turns out to be.

Check out Bou Jeloud here
Here's another one that nearly slipped through the net, from that other World Music station, r4

The master musicians of Joujouka.
However I'd like to disagree with the description of this as the 'first World Music' album, it is a very BBC trait to try and affix a neat label to what has actually been an evolutionary process.
imo there is a programme out there to be made on this topic - for example, some of the 'novelty' records of the 50's (and earlier) were in fact simply 'local' music (for example, calypso) being exposed to a world audience, in a laborious way via vinyl.Comment

Thanks - I shall be looking that one out - however apropos of not very much except that I occasionally delve into these things, here's a programme from Beeb 2 Scotland from last night about Scottish words - there's some good ones in there though it is a bit Central Belt-ish.

Thanks Global - thoroughly enjoyed this show - apparently they're at Glasto this week - the R4 programme was from about ten years back - one of the highlights was them singing the song written in celebration of Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. Wonder if this film ever saw the light of day?

Didn't realise they were playing together Ron & Chris doing a Dylan number and Eliza singing Wayfaring Stranger with those other girls...a rare bit of Imagination from r2. :cool2:Originally posted by Globaltruth View Post
I'll just nip onto the r2 MB's to see what people think of it. I may be gone for quite some while.

Hey Paul, with your interests in all things Argie (footie in particular), you may well be interested in the final item on today's 'From Our Own Correspondent - probably about five or six minutes from the end. It's nice to consider a corresponding thing happening over here.

>>>And it's been a sad week for supporters of the Argentine football club River Plate. Their team failed to win at the weekend and it's been relegated to a lower division. But isn't football just a game? Daniel Schweimler, who's in Buenos Aires, says no. In Argentina, it's much more than that!
John, thanks, I'll listen in to that.
It's just a coincidence that after we watched a River Plate game that the legendary team are relegated for the first time in their 110 year history
Btw, I watched the whole of the extraordinary second half of the match against Belgrano de Cordoba via the web.
It was a Monumental riot !

Is there a BBC radio show about this anywhere in the schedules?
Hopefully the answer is 'there will be'
Irrespective of religious beliefs this should be wonderful...but I can't get to it
