Peggy Seeger’s Return Journey
Lopa Kothari handpicks a selection of new roots-based music, and American folk singer-songwriter Peggy Seeger shares two tracks: one for the road, and one that reminds her of home.
Lopa Kothari chooses tracks from her vast music collection, spanning from freshly-released Colombian cumbia from Houston-based band Son Bayoú, to Galician folk music with the new project from Carme López, Carmela. Plus, a special session track from Ghanean Fra Fra artist Florence Adooni with her band, recorded at the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Maida Vale earlier this month.
And, for our Return Journey feature, American folk icon Peggy Seeger guides us through two of her favourite tracks - one for the road, and one that reminds her of home - ahead of embarking on her final-ever tour, celebrating more than 70 years of music and activism.
