Florence Adooni’s Return Journey
Lopa Kothari selects new roots-based music and Ghanaian singer Florence Adooni picks two of her favourite tracks: one that she met on the road, and one that reminds her of home.
Lopa Kothari selects new roots-based music from around the globe, including a head-spinning track from Colombian supergroup Los Pirañas and a tune from a new compilation of hypnotic music focusing on the sounds of the Soninke people of Mali. Plus, a song from North Wales, courtesy of singer-songwriter Gwilym Bowen Rhys, and meditative sitar from Anoushka Shankar.
And, on the release of her debut album, A.O.E.I.U. (An Ordinary Exercise In Unity), Ghanaian Fra Fra soul singer Florence Adooni joins Lopa on the programme to share two of her favourite tracks: one that she met on the road, and one that reminds her of home.
