Lopa Kothari with new music from across the globe, plus a live session with Noura Mint Seymali, a singer from the deserts of Mauritania.

Noura Mint Seymali was born into Mauritanian music royalty: her father arranged the country's national anthem, and her mother was Dimi Mint Abba, an iconic figure in Mauritanian music. Noura Mint Seymali began her career at the age of thirteen, as a backing singer for her mother. She later teamed up with, and married, Jeiche Ould Chighaly, who is celebrated in Mauritania for transferring the intricate musical lines of the traditional instrument the tidninit onto the electric guitar. They have been first choice to play for the best weddings in Mauritania for years: now with their four-piece band, they are reaching an international audience. Noura Mint Seymali will also be introducing a classic recording by her mother as her Heritage Track.

Plus the latest from 麻豆社 Introducing, and another dip into the Radio 3 World Music Archive.

World on 3 sessions are available for download as a podcast via the home page.
