BBC World Service - World Of Music, 11/12/2010

This week Mark begins World of Music on his knees, with some sacred Tuvan throat singing. Then he's swinging around the room with some French gypsy guitar, wandering through the Patagonian deserts with an Argentine/Welsh troubadour, admiring the eye-poppingly inappropriate picture on the front of a CD of gamelan music. There's early Georgian devotional singing, Angolan samba and a Parisian Ukelele  ensemble.
