I fell asleep with the radio on - BAD habit - and woke about 3 am to find myself bathed in magical music. It was Charlie Gillett's world music programme on the BBC World Service, this week a celebration of the work of multi-lingual academic/producer/catalyst Lucy Duran with Malian kora player Toumani Diabate and others. You can hear the programme here, but only until Wednesday 6 April, when it will be replaced by something new - and no doubt also wonderful. And listen here to the programme Lucy Duran often presents on BBC Radio 3.

Lucy Duran's show is great. I haven't listened to it in a while so thank you for reminding me (thank goodness for falling asleep with BBC World Service on!). Best wishes, Planethalder (also in London).
