theartsdesk Radio Show 22 - the autumn's newest global sounds

The latest globalist sound sensations including Indian gamelan, Somalian funk and Spanish trip-hop

by Peter CulshawSaturday, 15 September 2018

Anchorsong: Japan goes to Bollywood

The latest in Peter Culshaw’s occasional updates in the best of new global music features unreleased tracks from forthcoming autumn releases and re-releases dug up by eccentric crate-diggers. Even more lunatically eclectic than usual we have some Somalian funk, Bollywood-meets-Sakamoto (Anchorsong - main picture), French Tango and Turkish psychedelia. New music unleashed includes fabulous tracks of new albums by Susheela Raman’s gamelan fusion Ghost Gamelan (appearing at the South Bank September 21), Anglo-Brazilian star Nina Miranda’s trip-hop update with Daxuva, and new Brazilian groove masters Bixiga 70. Hats off to adventurous record companies like Glitterbeat, Mr Bongo, Naïve, Analog Africa,TruThoughts, Six Degrees, Rough Guides and others whose sheer enthusiasm remains an inspiration.

Next show: Brexit music for people who really hate foreign cultures…..
