Wu Man and her Pipa Photo: photo by Stephen Kahn supplied
Trevor Reekie hosts a weekly music programme celebrating an eclectic mix of trans global music, fusion and folk roots.
Episode 124 features new music from Indian slide guitarist Debashish Bhattacharya taken from his new album Joy/Guru recorded in one night in Poland.
Also music from Italian violinist Luca Ciarla who is touring Aotearoa this month …
And to celebrate Chinese New year there is an interview and live performance with Chinese musician Wu Man, first recorded in 2013 at the RNZ studio in Auckland. Wu Man is a virtuoso of the Pipa, a four stringed Chinese lute that dates back two thousand years and, as the Boston Globe once wrote, ‘has changed the history of the instrument she plays”.
