Kathryn Tickell presents a selection of the best new roots-based music from around the globe, including a story of mutual love and respect from Ghanaian highlife band Santrofi, gospel recorded in a maximum security prison facility in Mississippi, and a celestial track from El LeΓ³n Pardo, who plays the kuisi, a pre-Colombian traditional wind instrument and symbol of resistance. We also hear a recording of legendary Somali funk outfit Dur-Dur Band playing live in concert at the Barbican.
