Lopa Kothari and Kathryn Tickell present further coverage from the globe's leading festival of world music, live from Charlton Park in Wiltshire. This evening's programme begins with a live to air performance from Mohsen Sharifian and the Lian Band, presenting the folk traditions of the Bushehr region of south-west Iran, and featuring the nay-anban (bagpipe) and nay-jofti (double-pipe reed flute). And from earlier in the day, we have highlights from sets by Tamala - the Senegalese-Belgian trio blending kora (west African harp), violin and vocals - and Orchestre Les Mangelepa, a band of Congolese musicians who settled in Kenya in the 1970s during the golden age of African rumba and are still going strong.

Radio 3 returns to WOMAD for year number 19, with live sets and highlights from the main stages as well as the 麻豆社 Radio 3 Charlie Gillett Stage, where Radio 3 has invited artists from across the globe to perform, many making their UK Festival debuts - this year with the participation of The British Council and Iran Art Research, who are bringing over the Lian Band from Iran. There are broadcasts across the weekend on Radio 3, plus Cerys Matthews on 6 Music, as well as upcoming programmes on 麻豆社 World Service.
