What’s on trend around the world?

Food, sport and global beats: following fashions and passions.

New fashions and passions are reported daily on the language services, so we’ve brought together some of our favourites: freediving in Colombia, Sufi fusion music in Pakistan, dreadlocks in Nigeria, and a new kind of tourism in South Korea. With Beatriz de la Pava of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Mundo, Julie Yoonnyung Lee of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Korean, Princess Abumere from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Lagos, and Farah Karim from ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Africa, whose Global Beats programme this week discovers new music in her second home, Pakistan.
