 World Routes in Guinea-Bissau Lucy Duran introduced this two-part feature from Guinea-Bissau. A small forgotten and isolated country in West Africa, it has only recently emerged from years of instability - until now its music, combining local traditions with a unique creole culture, has rarely been heard outside the country. The 2nd programme follows last year's Late Junction label on-location recording of one of Africa's rising stars, Manecas Costa. Lucy tells the story of the making of the CD, and visits Cacheu, the home of Guinea-Bissau's traditional gumbe rhythm. |
