Burns, banjos and big bands

Available for 22 days

Kathryn Tickell selects folk and roots music from around the globe, including psychedelic Amazonian cumbia from Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical, and big-band Ethio-jazz from Armenian-born composer Nerses Nalbandian. And the night before Burns Night, we celebrate Scottish folk traditions with Sheena Wellington’s take on a Robert Burns classic, and acclaimed folk singer and multi-instrumentalist Julie Fowlis joins Kathryn to share her two ‘Return Journey’ tracks: one for the road and one that takes her home. Produced by Gabriel Francis A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3 To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Planet.'
