Just finished listening to the World roots episode "Festival on the Niger", originally broadcast on 26 Aug 2006 on BBC radio 3, and featuring live #Music by Abdoulaye Diabaté, Neba Solo and Habib Koité, alongside impressions, interviews, etc.
The presenter, Lucy Duran, was a lecturer at SOAS while I was studying #Ethnomusicology there. We've had some truly great conversations. I really should listen to more of these episodes, they're just wonderful. #WorldMusic

@cassana Amazing! Btw, Lucy's project "Growing into Music" (=> https://www.growingintomusic.co.uk/) greatly inspired my work🙂

@petrnuska You’ve mentioned that before, but I will always boost a link to it. It’s just amazing stuff.
Fun fact, when I visited SOAS for the first time, Lucy gave me a private tour of the music department. It clicked immediately between us. Unsurprisingly I took lectures with her throughout my BA and MMus. She’s a major influence.
