Petroc fulfilling his world/global music quota by playing a worthy Inuit piece.

Really, as any fule kno, he should have chosen this

Eva Kaukai and Manon Chamberland from Kangirsuk throat singing. The Wapikoni channel on Vimeo which captured this is a brilliant idea and worth investigating.

Of course, without further investigation, you’ll never know whether these lyrics are offensive or not.
Please do be assured gentle reader, they are not panting in an auto erotic frenzy, merely singing of their deep passion for the land they are from.

Many years ago, when she was presenting Radio 3's 'drive time' show, Natalie Wheen announced that she was going to play a recording of deep throat singing by Tibetan monks, but that we weren't to be frightened.
(At around the same time she also played 'Port Essington', thereby introducing me to the music of Peter Sculthorpe. Her introduction to the aforementioned piece ended - ominously but correctly, with the words '...the outback wins ...')

Loved it, GT...in a sort of related issue, Yoiking got a repeat on Alba last night. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0000yh5

...but listening to the throat singing, I couldn't help wondering if John Mayall had had a trip to the Kangirsuk areas some time in the 60s:

Huey Morgan's Latin Music Adventure: Part 3

The final part, tonight, 9.30 on BBC4
Puerto Rico
Huey sets out to explore hiw migration has shaped the music of Puerto Rico. He starts in New York City, home to over a million Puerto Ricans, and learns how immigrants fused traditional music with American R&B and soul. Later, he travels to the source of salsa on the island of Puerto Rico itself. Once there, he tracks down the island's folk music and meets the Grammy-nominated band Plena Libre who explain how important music is to Puerto Rican identity.

This series has taught me a lot.

By the way, shouldn't that read "the sauce of salsa"?

Well, the title of this thread doesn't say which stations schedules.
Recently rediscovered FIP

https://www.fip.fr/

They have diversified - there are now 9 or 10 different genre channels
Monde is the one you probably want, but there is a classic one too + another 3 regional stations covering Nantes/Strasbourg/somewhere else.
You will hear some Monde music you wont hear anywhere else so overall worth investigating.

Still v little chat between tracks, occasional bursts of news.

The main channel is still the odd/random mix.

quite charming really.

Tucked away at an LJ'ish sort of time (2300hrs tonight) here is Nick Luscombe with the first in a series of 3 programmes on his specialist subject.
Tonight, islands, then he goes into the country and finally ends up in the city.

A new series of three programmes in which the Tokyo-based DJ, producer and broadcaster Nick Luscombe explores the music and sounds of Japan past and present in a virtual journey from the country’s remote outposts to its vast metropolis. In this first programme we hear music from or inspired by island life and water from traditional Okinawan sounds and instruments to surf-rock and electronica.

A couple of items on Radio 4 Extra today with a right WM feel about them.
'Big Drums on Little Carriacou' has Zakia Sewell travelling to Grenada to explore the Big Drum Tradition.

...and 'Modern Day Griot' about modern takes on tradional West African music, featuring Seckou Keita, among others.

Welcome back JC and thanks for these, heard the Griot one live! In real time! A rare occurrence ...

Ps installing a new boiler? Expect there’s a blues number about that somewhere...

Too true, GT, especially when the sparky didn't turn up this evening. Really enjoyed the Griot programme...the Big Drums programme was fascinating! Great music in both!

No boiler house blues this morning, Global - hot water at the touch of a tap...so far, anyway. Now it's the thought of getting plastered as previously invisible areas of wall have suddenly appeared...think I'm thinking more 'The Gas-man Cometh'. Thanks for the tunes and the kind thoughts.

'A Suitable Boy' on BBC 1 has just started on Sunday evenings. First episode most enjoyable, and excellent use of music throughout, I thought.

Agreed!

Still listening to Verity's 'Folk at Home' from R3 last month. Enjoyed Eliza Carthy for all the sense of hopelessness and sense of struggle that folk musicians face, she still was in grand voice with a couple of fine tunes. Chris Wood's programme was great too, including his song about a couch!

Afua Hirsch is an excellent and accomplished broadcaster with a relaxed style.
Included stunning images from Aida Muluneh :



and, of course, a fair slice of music, from the Sacred Harp of David, aka the begenna:

The Rastafari community of Shashamane was news to me. A gift of land from Haile Selassie.
It was also possible to draw clear parallels between the behaviors of the Shah of Iran and Haile Selassie from their inauguration onwards - sweems to me that autocracy rarely brings out the best in people
