Verity Sharp

Griot music from Mauritania, harp music from the Peruvian Andes, the sound of zips and velcro and we hear from the pioneer of the synthesizer Suzanne Ciani.

We play French ethnomusicologist Charles Duvelle's 1966 recordings of Moorish classical music from Mauritania in memory of the musicologist and editor of the Ocora label who died late last year.

Elsewhere we have Peruvian Huayno harp music from the Andes, a ritualistic performance piece by Conrad Winslow that features velcro and zips and ahead of her Late Junction mixtape tomorrow, we hear from pioneering electronic composer Suzanne Ciani on the liberating powers of the Buchla synthesiser, an instrument built by her friend and collaborator, the former NASA scientist Don Buchla.
