Hailing from Bogota the Meridian Brother's music is an uncategorizable mix of Latin rhythms and genres, taking in Cumbia, Salsa and Currulao and spinning it all through a psychedelic prism.

Travelling back to the 1950s, Jumoké plays music by the artists who inspired and enthralled him, unearthing some of Kerouac’s own collaborations with jazz musicians as well as tributes from the greats. |

Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: FreddyHeadey Date: 08 Apr 24 - 08:01 PM Is this folk yet? idk I thought it was a very interesting and well put together programme anyway. The Golden Age of the MGM Musical - 2024 Sunday Feature ,,,Freed's music Unit employed the top musicians of the time - Conrad Salinger, Erich Wolfgang Korngold and Kurt Weill - many of whom had fled war-torn Europe and rising anti-Semitism. From the early days of sound, MGM became synonymous with the spectacular, technicolour musical - the first studio to integrate music, plot and dance in film in an intelligent way. Over the years, with huge successes like Meet Me In St Louis, The Wizard of Oz and Singin' in the Rain, they became the 'Faberge Egg' of movie production. And these hits often coincided with moments of huge social and political turbulence, offering audiences fantasy and escape from the Great Depression, war and prejudice. With archive and original interviews including Alicia Mayer - grand-niece of Louis B, film music historian Jon Burlingame and conductor John Wilson, Neil Brand explores this extraordinary period in film history. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001xw7f |

Subject: RE: BBC Radio This week 2024 From: Rain Dog Date: 13 Jun 24 - 02:30 AM Broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on Tuesday 11.6.24 (originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2016) Suck it and See "Grammy Award-Winning songwriter Amy Wadge fell in love with the harmonica after winning one in a fancy dress competition (she was dressed in a bin liner!). Here she investigates the history and potential of the diatonic instrument, a European the toy which in the hands of expert players became the the iconic sound of the Mississippi Delta and the Chicago Blues. According to music historian Christoph Wagner, the very first example of the instrument goes back to Vienna. But millions would soon find their way to the USA, taken there by German emigres fleeing poverty. The poor person's introduction to music, the harmonica would soon find its way to around the globe, from Britain to Australia and even China. But it was in America that it scored its biggest success. Joe Filisko reveals it was there that harmonica technique underwent a transformation. Instead of exhaling air, blues players would draw air in, and bend notes to achieve the characteristic sounds of the blues. Amy tries her hand at bending, under the expert tutelage of Steve Lockwood - one of very few people to have studied the harmonica to degree level, and she speaks to one of Britain's best-known players, Paul Jones. Canadian beat-boxer Benjamin Darvill - "Son of Dave" - has explored new possibilities with the instrument, and with an original sound that's been heard in edgy TV dramas and commercials. Proving that for all its limitations - 10 holes and 3 octaves - there's life yet the harmonica. Produced by Geoff Ballinger." |

We hear highlights from last year's project. New releases come from The Decemberists, Good Habits and Altan. Mark also checks out new books with musical connections to Johnny Flynn and Christine Collister, and plays a Scottish classic by Silly Wizard. 04 August 2024 The Folk Show with Mark Radcliffe 21st Century Folk In 21st Century Folk, five people inspire five new folk songs. This year, the project focuses on coastal life and sea rescues around the UK. The five fascinating characters get to meet songwriters, who listen to their stories before going away to write a dedicated song. Later, they're reunited for the song's debut performance. In this programme, Radio 2's Mark Radcliffe hears the in-depth stories behind each song. This year's 21st Century Folk musicians are: Lady Nade with Boo Hewerdine, Cara Dillon with Sam Lakeman, Martyn Joseph, Kris Drever, and Seth Lakeman with Fisherman's Friends. Their subjects are Anna, Jeff, Vicky, Emma and Al. Lifeboat helm Anna Heslop became Cullercoats’ first female helm in the RNLI station’s 170-year history, and also led their first all-female crew. She inspires a song by Bristol singer Lady Nade and fellow songwriter Boo Hewerdine. Kayaker, yachtsman and former soldier Jeff Allen leads expeditions around the world. He turned to the sea to help him cope with life after the army. The veteran's story inspires a song by Northern Irish singer Cara Dillon and her musical partner Sam Lakeman. Vicky Murphy was eight months pregnant when she and husband Marc were rescued from a flooding cave in Cornwall. Hammered by waves that threatened to drag them out to sea, the couple believed they would not survive. Thanks to a mystery surfer and two lifeguards, they did. Their story inspires a song by Cardiff troubadour Martyn Joseph, who returns to 21st Century Folk for a second time. Marine conservationist Emma Neave-Webb lives on the island of Sanday in Orkney, where she works to rescue beached whales affected by changing seas. Her profound change of lifestyle, and experience of rescuing killer whales and pilot whales, inspire a song by Scottish songwriter Kris Drever, whose own family comes from Sanday. Central London lifeboat crew member Al Kassim volunteers at the UK’s busiest RNLI station: Tower. He signed up after being saved by a lifeboat off Portsmouth. Al's song pays tribute to all brave volunteers and is performed by Dartmoor folk star Seth Lakeman and Cornish shanty sensations Fisherman's Friends. Videos of the five performances from 21st Century Folk can be found on the BBC iPlayer and the BBC Music YouTube channel. BBC Radio 2 Jeremy Vine show 12-2pm Monday 29th July to Friday 2nd August 2024. Interviews with all the participants can be heard on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 show. |
