DJ, broadcaster and African music specialist Rita Ray joins Verity in the studio. Plus music that’s old, new, borrowed and blue.

Our old track comes from a 1976 recording of sacred bamboo flute music from New Guinea. New; a preview of Sam Sweeney’s forthcoming album The Unfinished Violin. Borrowed; a modern take on the ancient tonalities of Greece composed by Harry Partch. Blue; the Mississippi blues (not the other kind of blue).

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
