The Day of the Dead in Three Tracks with Coco Maria

Kathryn Tickell shares new global roots music and a trio of tunes that encapsulate the annual Día de los Muertos festivities, as picked by Mexico-born DJ and compiler Coco Maria.

Kathryn Tickell shares the best in new roots music from around the world, including cumbia-infused Anatolian psychedelic folk from Umut Adan & Zebânis; traditional dance rhythms with one foot on the club dancefloor from Guinea-born, Margate-based multi-instrumentalist Falle Nioke; and new sounds from Cochemea, who draws on his Yaqui/Yoeme indigenous heritage to explore ancestral memories. Plus a trio of tunes that encapsulate the annual Día de los Muertos festivities selected by Mexico-born DJ and compiler Coco Maria.
