This week (November 25), BBC Radio 2 hosted an exclusive live performance of Monkey: Journey To The West, the new work from Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, the team behind Gorillaz.

Based on their Opera of the same name, the recording featured both Chinese and European musicians from the original theatre production.
