Charlie Gillett's World Of Music - Sat, 27 Jun 2009

Eccentric Czech duo Dva starts the programme with ice-cream-inspired Nanuk, followed by Beata Palya singing in English and a new offering by Ersatz Musika, a Russian/Ukrainian émigré band fronted by accordionist, lyricist and singer Irina Doubrovskaja.

Two young artists follow: Nneka Egbuna has come a long way from singing in her school's and church choirs in Warri in her native Nigeria while Tarrus Riley is making waves in the world of Jamaican reggae.

Veteran pianist and producer Allen Toussaint goes back to his New Orleans roots with The Bright Mississippi and Italy's brass ensemble Banda Olifante brings the programme to an exuberant finish.
