What's missing

[Globaltruth]

What's missing in all of the World Music broadcasting currently on r3 is currency.

With all due respect, it is moderately easy to craft a thoughtful homage to the recently deceased, those about to tour (sometimes that's the same thing), or (step forward Max R.) a track from 1925 about unrest at that time - without even drawing the analogy.

Seems that no-one is relaying via music impressions of Tunis, Egypt, Afghanistan, Iran...AK used to do this in the past but no-one now seems to be carrying the baton.

I'm interested to know how conditions in any of those places are affecting their musically-driven people.

Maybe I'll have a look around for some internet radio stations...unless anyone knows of any such programmes upcoming on r3?

I absolutely do - a small team of intrepid World Music reporters would add an important new dimension to our understanding.

Yes, I do agree. It isn't only the musical currency but radio too. The Beeb used to inform us of stations operating at the heart of struggle. It could be doing more of this now.
