Live Saharan blues with Daraa Tribes

To brighten up this wintery evening, Lopa Kothari takes us on a journey across dunes and oases with a special extract from a recent live performance of Moroccan band Daraa Tribes recorded at Hootananny, in London. Since 2013, the group has been making music that blends Saharan blues influences with Amazigh traditional music.

Elsewhere in the show, lots of new music including tracks from French duo of trumpet player Airelle Besson and accordionist Lionel Suarez, Naples' group Psyché, and Väsen, a Swedish folk music band from Uppsala.

Produced by Silvia Malnati.
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3.
