Much loved DJ, Songlines contributor and world music explorer Andy Kershaw returns to BBC Radio 3 in the near future and with him come exciting new plans.
He is set to present Music Planet – a programme being created in conjunction with BBC One’s Human Planet. Alongside co-presenter Lucy Durán, he will visit more remote outposts of world music in the footsteps of his legendary North Korean and Iraqi sojourns.
Music Planet is being touted by the station as the “most significant and ambitious world music project ever” and will include throat singing in Greenland, shamanic music from Mongolia and the sounds of the remote Bat People of Papa New Guinea.
Of a trip to Thailand, Kershaw had this to say: “I cheerily risked incineration at a rocket festival in Thailand to take our Radio 3 audience into the fiery thick of the action.” Watch this space.
