BBC Alert:

Sir David Attenborough – World Music Collector

It's not well known, but while searching for Komodo dragons and birds-of-paradise for his Natural History programmes, Sir David Attenborough recorded the musical performances of the people he encountered...

From Gamelan orchestras in Bali; Fijian chants to attract turtles from the depths of the ocean; Aboriginal didgeridoo recitals; even the singing that encouraged boys to bungee jump with only vines attached to their ankles, Attenborough tells the stories of his World Music recordings that have lain in the BBC's vaults for nearly 60 years.

You can join Sir David on his adventures through World Music on Christmas Day live on BBC Radio 3 or listen again online.
