Hear an interview with and live performance from 12 piece brass band, Fanfare Ciocarlia - all hailing from the same small village in North eastern Romania. Celebrated globally for their eclectic repertoire of Gypsy infused Balkan brass traditions delivered at breakneck speed, Fanfare Ciocarlia defy all preconceptions of brass band music.

Fanfare Ciocarlia Recorded live on the Brooklands Stage by Radio NZ National, mixed by Graham Kennedy.

Then we hear from petite Brazilian chanteuse, Flavia Coelho, accompanied by her very slick band. Flavia presented a repertoire that was a fusion of Samba, bossa nova and hip hop.
