You're right of course Modette, she's an interesting character, and very knowledgeable (disc jockey) However I was hoping for a programme which consisted chiefly of African music, not about her connections/old record collections etc with/of various Nigerian performers and famous musicians, and with a lot less of her Talking Head!

I've noticed a tendency these days for TV programmes not to allow the viewer to view in peace. There have to be other intrusive additions, which I find irritating and distracting.

Next Friday she's tackling the music of South Africa. There are more in the series but I can't discover which regions she's including.
I bet Mali is one. My husband's tribe (the Senoufo) is originally from Mali, and Mali has a huge musical history and scope. But if she keeps rabitting on, she'll spoil it for me!
