World Beat 1
The first programme in a new series of outstanding music performances from around the world. The massive growth in communications over the last few years has made traditional popular music readily available from one nation to another. The term 'world music' has been coined to describe this phenomenon and tonight's presentation combines familiar styles like blues, country music and reggae with the less familiar sounds of conjunto from Mexico, mbaqanga from South Africa, samba from Brazil and rhumba from Zaire.
Tonight's film and the series is introduced by David Byrne of Talking Heads fame, who has collaborated with musicians from all over the world. World Beat 1 includes performances from the Soul Brothers (South Africa),
Gilberto Gil (Brazil), Ivo Papasov (Bulgaria),
Flaco Jimenez (Mexico), Salif Keita (Mali), Jerry Lee Lewis (USA), Papa Wemba (Zaire),
Van Morrison and the Chieftans (Ireland), and the godfather of world music, Bob Marley. Researcher FRANCIS HANLY
