Musician, producer and DJ Nitin Sawhney is renowned for his globe-trotting take on composition, his music noted for fusing sounds and styles from every corner of the world. He is, therefore, the perfect man to present a series of radio documentaries that explore a diverse range of musical traditions and cultures from flamenco, Indian classical and folk to reggae, drum and bass and electronica. The series will be called Nitin Sawhney Spins The Globe, and it will go out as a weekly, hour-long programme on Radio 2, with the first episode airing on January 5th at 11pm.
The first episode will include music from Spain's Paco De Lucia, Pakistan's Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, America's Jeff Buckly, Mali's Ali Farke Touré, Nigeria's Fela Kuti, Madagascar's Jeff Nhore and more.
