On last week’s show:
A Brazilian start and various Latin styles; plenty from Ghana plus Mali and a Fela remix. The Klezmatics were made for these times, and a quick trip through Europe as far as Ukraine. Folk from England and Nashville, quirky Danish song, dreamy Brazilian in Brighton and a murder ballad.
