Thanks for those David Attenborough clips.
Good excuse to revisit the complete programme :
David Attenborough - World Music Collector - 2016
David Attenborough reveals a side of himself that nobody knows, as a collector of music from all over the world. We hear the stories that surround it, and the music itself.
One of David Attenborough's first projects was 'Alan Lomax - Song Hunter', a television series he produced in 1953-4. The famous collector of the blues and folk music of America gathered traditional musicians from all over Britain and Ireland and, for the first time, they appeared on television. David loved the music, the people and, inspired by Lomax, he became music collector himself.

and the shorter
David Attenborough's Global Mixtape - 2018
Music Planet
Sir David Attenborough first became nationally known as the presenter of BBC TV's Zoo Quest, a series based on expeditions to catch exotic animals for London Zoo. The programmes ran from 1954 to 1963, and in his spare time during the filming, Sir David made sound recordings of the local music.
In this Music Planet Mixtape, Sir David introduces some of his favourites. His picks include sparkling harp playing from Paraguay, the chanting of his team's luggage-carriers in New Guinea and the funeral gongs of the Dyak people in Borneo.
