Trio Da Kali in session

Lopa Kothari plays new music from across the globe. Plus, a special session and chat with the Malian griot group, Trio Da Kali.

Lopa Kothari explores the deep heritage of Malian music with a live session from griot group Trio Da Kali. Featuring singer Hawa Kassé Mady Diabaté, balafon maestro Lassana Diabaté, and bass ngoni player Madou Kouyaté, the trio weave rich storytelling and rhythmic traditions with a contemporary twist. They join Lopa in the studio during a visit to London as part of an international tour celebrating the release of their latest album, Bagola.

Plus, joyful sounds from South African mbaqanga group Mahotella Queens, and some 1960s Bollywood courtesy of Lata Mangeshkar & Mukesh.
