This week Mark Coles is in reflective mood on World of Music. There's an octogenarian Ethiopian piano-playing nun, an electro gospel pastor as well as music from India, France, a Ugandan song celebrating the arrival of public radio in the 1930s and Chinese gourd flute. It's an intriguing earful of delight.
