Cameroonian funk and chaabi from Algeria

Lopa Kothari shares a previously unreleased live recording of Manu Dibango from 1982, a candombl茅 prayer from Tigan谩 Santana, and Algerian chaabi explorations from Koum Tara.

Lopa Kothari curates a selection of roots-based music from around the world, including a previously unreleased recording of Cameroonian songsmith Manu Dibango performing live in Marseille in 1982. Plus: Iranian tar player and ensemble leader Araz Salek delves into his deep connection with makam Nahavand, while Brazilian singer Tigan谩 Santana offers a soothing prayer to the candombl茅 deity Ox贸ssi. And the eight-piece band Koum Tara takes us on a journey through the poetic and musical heritage of Algeria鈥檚 chaabi tradition.
