For this New Sounds, listen to a really impressive roundup of world music. There’s music from a group of Sufi singers, the Bedouin Jerry Can Band, who play abandoned fuel containers and ammunition boxes left behind by the Israeli army. Also, hear music from Brazil by Renata Rosa, in a style that translates as “sea horse,” a fading tradition of street theatre that has to do with Christmas and the three wise men. It’s from a compilation released by the BBC’s “World Routes” program, "On the Road."
Then there’s African electronic music from the late Cameroonian musician Francis Bebey, involving pygmy flutes and electric organ, along with music from West Africa and Madagascar. Plus, American folk music, from Sam Amidon & electric guitarist Bill Frisell, and more.

Please may I have the Playlist for the March 20th broadcast on WNYC--particularly missed the names of the last two played, one Turkish and the other African--not close enough to my pad and pen.
Awesome stuff. Love it when Shazam app is stumped as it was on these tracks.
