The series that charts the richness of world music returns for a fifth season. Put Me on a VHS. All over the developing world, musicians are starting to make their own videos. While some have budgets of thousands, others are made for sums that probably wouldn't pay for the coffee on a Madonna shoot.
Exploring this phenomenon, tonight's film features 15 original videos.
How do artists like Caetano
Veloso (Brazil), David Rudder (Trinidad), Juan Luis Guerra (Dominican Republic), Dick Lee (Singapore) and Youssou N'Dour (Senegal) match images to the music they make? And how do they feature in the playlists of the rapidly expanding satellite music television channels?
