With Mbongwana Star and Songhoy Blues in session

Tom Robinson has a session from Mbongwana Star, a group from the Democratic Republic of Congo, plus tracks recorded exclusively for the show by Songhoy Blues.

Tom has sessions from Mbongwana Star and Songhoy Blues. Mbongwana Star come from The Democratic Republic of Congo. They've just released their debut album 'From Kinshasa', their country's capital city. The band arose out of a long term Kinshasa band called Staff Benda Bilili. Former members met with filmmaker Renaud Barret and Parisian producer Doctor L and the Mbongwana Star project came to life - Mbongwana means change, something they felt was vital.
Songhoy Blues recorded a session for Lauren Laverne last month and recorded 2 exclusive tracks for this show at that time.

Huw Stephens from Radio 1 shares his personal tip from 麻豆社 Introducing, as does one of the Introducing shows from around the UK.
At 11 o'clock Tom launches The After Hour, where he dusts off tracks from the outer reaches of his record collection.
