It's another nail in the coffin for 'World Music' on the BBC - makes me nervous about r3's commitment to WM - which occupies a miniscule portion of their programming already...Last edited by Globaltruth; 12-02-12, 09:56.

Didn't we get a preview of that Black Snow piece sometime back?
PS will know...
Now who on earth will play it on r3?
(Oilrig far too self-effacing to even consider it)

I loved this when it was posted last year and tried to Google it last month. Unfortunately, I was hazy on the detail. Then I looked at the Watercolour site when we were discussing the Campbells and still couldn't find it, probably because of being generally clueless. Thanks for posting it again.

On yesterday's In tune a rather interesting string trio, Celloman.
Described as fusing classical with world music and jazz, whilst playing African and Middle Eastern rhythms their music certainly caught my attention and is worthy of further investigation. I particularly liked the first track Veena.
The music was better than the interview...how often does that happen?
Here's a piece from Youtube promoting the CD contains some of the music played on In Tune.

A non-music post
I've posted this here rather than on Arts & Ideas on the basis that it is of interest to WM fans too. Soooo..
on last night's Night Waves
Elif Shafak, one of Turkey's leading young novelists, talked about Sufi, and the particular connection between Rumi and Shams, a dervish he once met, as featured in her new book-within-a-book The 40 Rules of Love.
She spoke clearly and simply about Sufi-ism in a way which was most engaging, I particularly liked her shape analogy (Sufi-ism is circular, other faiths are triangular).
She reinforced a key point about Islam - that it has as many different branches as Christianity.
Worth a listen if you are in the slightest bit interested in alternative religions.
I'll find a YouTube piece of whirling dervishes later maybe...
