Out Of Africa 69 17/08/10

Special interview with the lark of Wasulu music from Mali: Oumou Sangare.  This show includes exclusive live tracks recorded in Bracknell last year( with kind permission from World Circuit Records and South Hill Park Arts Centre) Oumou is an artist who is proud of her country and its diverse cultures, now recognised and appreciated throughout the world. "Mali is a country of oral tradition, which explains why music and society here are part of each other.  The 32 different ethnic groups here each have their own well-developed culture. They don't need each other to make good music, even though cross-fertilisation is always good. There should still be a lot more recognition for Malian music.  I deeply respect each individual artist in Mali. Our potential is incredible. Mali and its music embody the symbol of a free and victorious Africa." ( taken from Oumou's biography  http://www.worldcircuit.co.uk/#Oumou_Sangare::Biography )

Special interview with Titi Robin who talks about his music, his meetings, his love of Flamenco and Rajasthani Music..... Many tracks featured......"Thierry Robin, known as “Titi”, is a self-taught musician born at the end of the fifties in western France. He created a musical world for himself instinctively assimilating elements in response to his need to express himself. The two worlds in which he has navigated daily and that have both directly and deeply influenced him are the gipsy and oriental cultures.

Before the World Music trend was born, these communities were open and encouraging to him while French mainstream music struggled with his approach. Arab and gipsy community celebrations provided him with the opportunity to test his original musical sound against these rich traditions from which he took his inspiration while never imitating them, obstinately looking for the best way in which to express himself as a contemporary artist. The musicians accompanying him were almost all from these minority groups. The two artists of major importance to him were the flamenco cantaor Camaron de la Isla and the Iraqi master oud player Munir Bachir." (From Titi's biography on his website  http://www.thierrytitirobin.com/anglais/biographie.php)
