Clarke Peters' concluding three-part series reveals stories from the history of black music in Europe over the last four decades.

From the collapse of the Eastern Bloc to the rise of multiculturalism, this was a time that saw old walls come tumbling down, while new forms of technology and new styles of music were all emerging at a rapid pace.

In this episode, Clarke explores a variety of different scenes in the late 1970s and early 1980s. We hear from Alex Wheatle on sound systems in London and Pat Thomas on Burger Highlife in Berlin. We also explore the music of Carte de Sejour in France and hear how singer Marie Daulne escaped conflict in Africa for a new life in Belgium.
