Back to global matters: 4 August

Every Saturday from 6.30 to 8pm, with your hosts Bully Dux and Phat Kat

A global selection of vinyl and hard to find original tracks from gypsy to African psych rock. With a splash of Don Adams to keep you on your toes!

La Zikabilo is a street brass band from France led by a Cuban trumpeter and Romanian gypsy on guitar. Phat Kat met them and captured a short but powerful interview at the Rainforest World Music Festival in Borneo.

Interview podcast coming soon.
