Dublin in three tracks with Landless

Music Planet

Available for 18 days

Kathryn Tickell invites Landless to pick three tracks that embody the musical soul of the Irish capital. The group - Ruth Clinton, Meabh Meir, Sinead Lynch and Lily Power - sing unaccompanied traditional songs from Irish, Scottish, English and American traditions in close four-part harmony, and its members are closely involved in the traditional singing sessions in Dublin and Belfast. Plus Kathryn selects the best new global roots-based releases: from Congolese rumba courtesy of African Fiesta; Catalan songs by Ester Formosa and Elva Lutza; and Greek-Anatolian laments from rebetiko musician Antonis Diamantidis. Produced by Silvia Malnati A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3. To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Planet'.
