Mark's musical selections from around the world include things lost and found. There's the project whose postponement meant that The Buena Vista Social Club was recorded instead, there's a track that shows Eritrea's got soul, Senegalese rap via Berlin, and we mark 40 years since Jimi Hendrix's death with interpretations from Vietnam and Benin.
