Concertzender Wereldmineralen 2 Sept. 2010 / African and Asian music

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Pieter de Rooij

My edition of Concertzender’s 60-minute radioprogramme Wereldmineralen on 2 September 2010 features recent releases of African and Asian world music. You can listen to the programme via www.concertzender.nl , broadcast time is 19.00-20.00hrs (dutch time). After broadcast you can listen ‘on demand’ via this link.
In the first half hour there’s African music, starting with the album ‘La Difference’ of Salif Keïta from Mali, followed by the album ‘Télévision’ of Baaba Maal from Senegal. Then there’s a selection of recently released seventies Afrobeat-music from the sampler album ‘Nigeria Afrobeat Special’. In the second half hour the programme features new releases with music from Asia, starting with the album ‘He who travels far’ (release in September 2010) of Chinese-Mongolian band Hanggai. This group blends rock with traditional Mongolian music and overtone singing. The final part of the programme features music from the album Stringstruck by sitar maestro Purbayan Chatterjee.

An article on Purbayan Chatterjee’s recent fusion projects / In: Hindustan Times, August 15th, 2010

With his band Stringstruck Purbayan Chatterjee created an album of fusion music that earned him in July 2010 the award of ‘world music album of the year’ in India. Pleasant and striking surprises on Stringstruck are Purbayan Chatterjee’s singing and his playing on the dwo, an electric sitar.

WERELDMINERALEN – March 22nd, 2008 / sparkling new African and Asian music

Posted on March 12, 2008 by Pieter de Rooij

For Saturday March 22nd I’ve prepared another nice edition of Wereldmineralen, the sparkling saturday morning non-stop world music-hour of De Concertzender. Featured in this edition are four great recent releases, from Africa and Asia.The programme starts with three tracks from ‘The African’, an album featuring great reggae dance music of singer Tiken Jah Fakoly from Ivory Coast, then Mauretanian singer/songwriter Daby Touré joins the party with a few of his catchy, uplifting African pop songs from his album ‘Stereo Spirit’.
In the second half of the programme I turn and tune your ears to Asian music. Chinese singer Sa Dingding’s album ‘Alive’ features mixes of Chinese tradional melodies and elements derived from western pop, soul and classical music.
For the final twenty minutes I’ve booked some very special and delicate music from ‘Fragile Beauty’, a brilliantly produced album by two of today’s finest Vietnamese musicians, jazz guitarist Nguyen Le and singer Huong Thanh. It’s an impressive album that fuses traditional Vietnamese folk songs with an array of jazz harmonies and global sounds. The very special flavour on this album is provided by Huong Thanh’s enchanting and stunning voice, she’s a brilliant artist. On youtube I published a video featuring the fragile beauty of the album’s title track…’fragile beauty’. Recently the album was welcomed with a Top of the World-review (choose issue 50, March 2008) by Barley Norton in the renowned world music magazine ‘Songlines’.
So don’t miss this great album and three other nice ones in my next edition of Wereldmineralen.
Happy Listening!
