Uganda
Saturday 3 February 2007 15:00-16:00 (Radio 3)
Lucy Duran presents the second of two programmes recorded in Uganda. She travels east from the source of the Nile into the Busoga Kingdom, an area famed for its music. She hears the giant pit xylophone, so named because of the large hole dug in the ground over which it resonates. Another group turn out to be fans of the World Service and compose a special song about the BBC.
