Turkish psychedelia and whale song blues
Lopa Kothari presents the best in global folk and roots-based music, with Turkish psychedelia from BaBa ZuLa and sound artist Jim Nollman duetting the blues with his local orcas.
Lopa Kothari presents the best in new global folk and roots-based music. We hear an offering from leading lights of the Turkish psychedelic resurgence, BaBa ZuLa, whose latest album distils Anatolian traditions through dreamlike narratives and unconventional song forms. London-based Palestinian nay master and percussionist Faris Ishaq explores connections between tashbib - a percussive, improvisational style of nay playing - and the rhythmic footwork of dabke dance. Plus a big blue blues from sound artist Jim Nollman, who spent years duetting with the orcas near his home in British Columbia.
