In the first of two programmes, Rythms of the World goes to Havana.
Los Van Van is Cuba's most popular band; in front of a huge audience in an open-air dance venue, they display the qualities that have made every one of their records a hit over the past 15 years. Their popularity is partly due to their contemporary sound, a mixture of Cuban dance music and western pop, and their humorous, ironic lyrics which comment on life in a socialist society.
Production Diana Mansfield Director Mike Maclntyre (Part 2 next week)

Latin America is a brutal mission field, torn apart by political warfare, racial hatred, greed and corruption. In Chile and Nicaragua, Julian Pettifer meets the missionaries who take sides in the struggle: the Catholic priest who supports revolution; the nun who accuses the United States of assassination and rape; the evangelist who sees nothing wrong in General Pinochet's repression; and the Anglican minister who prefers exorcising middle-class devils to campaigning for human rights.

On 21 March 1960, 69 people demonstrating against the Pass Laws were killed in the South African township of Sharpeville. This was not the first time that violence had erupted, but the effect was immediate; after a 50-year history of passive resistance, armed struggle became part of the liberation campaigns. The Pan-Africanist Congress and the African National Congress were outlawed and political leaders imprisoned.

Sharpeville became a symbol of defiance. Now, 30 years later, the PAC and the ANC have been unbanned, perhaps signalling a new direction in the struggle against apartheid. But can the violent legacy of Sharpeville be forgotten?
