Island rhythms and Nordic notes

Lopa Kothari handpicks fresh releases from across the world of folk and roots-based music, with sounds from S茫o Tom茅 and Pr铆ncipe, Trinidad and Scandinavia.

Lopa Kothari handpicks fresh releases from across the world of folk and roots-based music. We hear a track bursting with energy from a new compilation exploring the vintage sounds of S茫o Tom茅 and Pr铆ncipe, alongside another highlighting the revolutionary spirit of musicians in 1970s Trinidad. Plus, a more sombre yet no less invigorating collaboration between Finnish accordionist Johanna Juhola and Swedish fiddle player Lena Jonsson, taken from an album celebrating 200 releases by independent label Nordic Notes.
