Peggy Seeger鈥檚 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 Bayo煤, to Galician folk music with the new project from Carme L贸pez, Carmela. Plus, a special session track from Ghanean Fra Fra artist Florence Adooni with her band, recorded at the 蜜芽传媒鈥檚 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.
