This Island Earth
Sunday August 4th, 2024 with Manmohan Panesar
South Africa Jazz, Toumani Diabate and loads of great brand new releases

We start off with one track off the glorious album by Toumani Diabates's Symmetric Orchestra, celebrating the life of the legendary kora player and composer, Toumani Diabate, who sadly passed away at the young age of 58 on July 19, 2024. Rest in Power, Toumani. A proper tribute will follow on an upcoming show. Then on to some great new releases, in particular some groovy jazzy sounds from South Africa.

Thank you, Mammohan for opening today's show with Toumani. I still feel devastated by the loss of this beautiful man. One of the greatest musical artists of all time!!! And Single is probably the best intro indeed for anyone who does not know the man and his many musical incarnations. Rest in peace TD.

Thanks Neil & The Dancing Labrador! So many great tunes and albums from him. His loss is so huge but thankfully he left us with so much beauty and magic with his music.
