Episode #3154
Accordion & Harmonium Dance Party
Tuesday, May 01, 2012
There's music for free reed aerophone instruments on this New Sounds program. Free what? Well, that’s just the nerdy way to reference a family of instruments that involves forcing air through reeds, like accordions and harmoniums. These appear in many different world music traditions, from the Dhoad Gypsies of Rajasthan in India, to the Argentinian bandoneon used in tango music to taraab music (wedding music) of Zanzibar (off of Tanzania.)
Also, these free reed aerophones crop up in Khen music from Thailand, Celtic music from Ireland, and in the Cajun tradition as well. If that hasn't left you exhausted from spinning around the globe, we'll finish the hour by listening to Hindi film song, plus music from Bosnia, Madagascar, and Finland, for good measure.

New Music for Trumpet
Listen to a bit of new music for trumpet and electronics by Nils Petter Molvaer, from his latest, “Baboon Moon,” on this New Sounds program. There’s also music from a lovely collaboration record between a Senegalese singer/kora player Ablaye Cissoko and German-born trumpeter Volker Goetze, a late-night gem combining West African music and ethereal, atmospheric European jazz.
