BBC Radio 3 - Late Junction, Highlife and the Big Bang

Join Jennifer Lucy Allan for another two-hour journey, adventuring through sound.

Join Jennifer Lucy Allan for another two-hour journey, adventuring through sound, from Ghanaian highlife and haunting French sound worlds to violin music inspired by the Big Bang.

Strap in for another two-hour journey, adventuring through the nooks and crannies of experimental sound with Jennifer Lucy Allan. We’ll drop in on some Ghanaian highlife fused with Congolese rumba from the 1970s courtesy of the band Vis-A-Vis, and visit the strange and haunting sound worlds of French artist Anne Gillis. Plus a trip back to the Big Bang courtesy of Nigerian violinist Ibukun Sunday, and we zoom in on sonic miniatures inspired by the world of cinema from Turkish songwriter Isik Kural.
