Farewell summer, hello autumn
Kathryn Tickell selects global roots music for the season change, including congolese rumba from Maestro Vumbi Dekula and the misty Appalachian melodies of Joseph Decosimo’s banjo.
As summer comes to a close, Kathryn Tickell handpicks a selection of global roots music to welcome autumn, including a heartwarming track from Congolese Sweden-based guitarist Maestro Vumbi Dekula, Slavery Is A Crime, and hazy Appalachian music from banjo and fiddle player Joseph Decosimo.
Elsewhere in the show, we hear music from Julian Kytasty, a Ukrainian musician seeking to revive the tradition of the Kobzar, in which itinerant bards sing along to a plucked-string instrument - the bandura.
