Lopa Kothari presents a session from Mali's Rokia Traore - three songs of classical Mandinka music specially recorded for the programme at the Blues Faso theatre of Fondation Passerelle in Bamako. Also today, we explore the archives of Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in an interview with Curator and Senior Archivist Jeff Place, focusing on protest songs by African-American artists from Champion Jack Dupree to Bernice Reagan and the Freedom Singers. Plus a round-up of the latest new releases from across the globe and a track from this week's Classic Artist, Vietnam's Kim Sinh.
