A program from the vaults, June 26 2014: Part II looking at Nana Vasconcelos; new music from Toumani Diabate, Noura Mint Seymali

A show pulled from the vault, from June 26th 2014, for the first 6 months of 2014 I was playing a lot of Brazilian music since the World Cup that year was taking place in Brazil. I did a 2 part look at the brilliant and completely unique musician Nana Vasconcelos. Today we hear more music from the great Brazilian musician and composer Nana Vasconcelos: his most recent album 4 Elementos; music inspired by the four elements, particularly fire and water. It is a very imaginative sound journey with Brazil as its home. We will hear new recordings demonstrating the family heritage of Griots in West Africa, the first from Toumani Diabate's, his latest album, a wonderful duet with his son Sidiki, covering a wide range of Kora techniques, tuning and Mande repertoire from Mali and the Gambia. Second, new album from Mauritanian Dimi Mint Seymali, daughter of the great Dimi Mint Abba who passed away in 2011. She continues the griot tradition of her family and famous mother.
