BACKGROUND
I created the playlist to introduce this wonderful music to the world. First a beautiful and fragile piece by Latvian composer Peteris Vasks which must be one of the most mournful pieces of music I've heard, a violin concerto which must be an ode to a loved one. The second piece is a song by Darko Rundek called "Ruke" ("Hands") also in a desolate mode which is turned around by the third song from a collection of Zambian pop from the 70's, a joyous groove bordering on the psychedelic by a group called Green Labels - "Kwacha ngwee"
