Listen back to recent programs

Program 622
The Music of Roti - Troubled Grass and Crying Bamboo
Broadcast

Every piece today has a harp or zither of one kind or another in many and varied contexts. We’ll hear the Western classical & Irish harps, as well as the African version - the kora, along with Rotinese, Malagasy and Ainu variations that are played in a similar way. So a widely varied world musical tour will ensue...
