I once spent a few days in a Katmandhu Hospital recovering from malaria (I caught it somewhere in Iran or Pakistan - at first the docs didn't know what it was - but that's another tale for another day). So it was fascinating to revisit the anarchy of Nepal which Lucy experienced in the first half of the excellent World Routes visit to Bhaktapur broadcast on Sunday - loads of drums, bells and screaming kids - culminating in the magnificently titled 'Inside the Open Toilet Group'. Dr Duran sounded like she was struggling to keep it together - but in a nice way.
Then followed a very different last twenty minutes of calming restful mountain music to send us gently to slumberland - very beautiful.

Looking forward to hearing World Routes from Kenya this evening. A troupe of Massai Warriors came to the local High School recently and it was most enjoyable to meet and see them perform. I particularly loved the whistling - wish I could whistle like that. Wonder if there will be any of that tonight.

plus i've only just noticed that on the iplayer the doc is photographed with her tardis behind her, waiting to go on another valiant mission no doubt! (i've always been too distracted by the striking design on her shirt to notice).
it sounds like tonight is an especially magical dibble dabble with the recording gear.
hark! i hear whistling jc, you're in luck!

In which Dr.Lucy goes all the way to Greece for a piece of fresh fish & to sort out the economic situation with some cool sounds, a few kind words and a pint of ouzo to wash down her kokoretsi.
I can think of no-one better equipped.
Oh yes, she went to Womex too; listen to Dr. Lucy playing for us right now the people we're going to be listening to over the next year. Includes a surprising description of Afro-Peruvian dances such as cone burning and hip tying told in Dr. L's usual calm style...
It's good WOMEX is still going innit?

They have got Anais, that famous Bulgarian choir, Salif Keita, Eric Bibb, the Dardanelles, Anda Union, Mulatu Astatke, Steve Cropper and very much more besides. Funnily enough, I see that there is even a place for Martin Stephenson.
Speaking of the late 1980s, whatever happened to that mysterious singer who used to accompany the Bronte Brothers? There was a lot of talk that her writing, when scrutinised, wasn't quite as deep as she appeared. That is true. She was, though, young. The fading career seemed to prove the point. But there was charisma and her talent is entirely suited to a late, extraordinary, bloom.

The situation in Mali is terrible though - sticking a knife into the musical soul of the world.
