BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Max Reinhardt

Max Reinhardt presents music direct from the dancefloors of Mexico and Botswana.

Max Reinhardt presents music direct from the dancefloors of Mexico and Botswana, with a historic recording of Beethoven's late string quartets and percussion for a zen garden.

Max presents music direct from the dancefloors of Mexico and Botswana. Featuring Don Tosti, the king of the pachuco mambo, a Mexican-American dance craze of the 1930s that combines boogie woogie and rumba, while guitarist Molefe Lekgetho plays in a style unique to Botswana; his hand reaches up and over the fretboard instead of coming from underneath, creating a lavish dancing pattern with just a bass string and 4 treble strings.

Also in the show is Ramon Humet, a Catalan composer who shows his Japanese influences in the chamber work Four Zen Gardens, a suitably poised and elegant series of bells, bamboo and gongs for three percussionists. Plus, a track off Yasmine Hamdan's upcoming remix album, and a historic recording at The Library of Congress of one of Beethoven's late string quartets.

Produced by Rebecca Gaskell for Reduced Listening.
