#2978: New Music from the Berbers
There's music from North and West Africa on this New Sounds program. We'll hear a trancey and exuberant series of recordings of master musicians of Gnawa from Ouled Bambara. Also, we'll listen to the latest from the nomadic band Tinariwen from northern Mali - Saharan seven-piece Malian desert blues with twanging guitar-led fuzz and funk.
Plus music by fellow Malian Issa Bayagogo on the banjo-like instrument called the ngoni, something from guitarist Justin Adams, and more.
