Mary Ann Kennedy with new tracks from across the globe, plus a studio session with young Turkish singer 脟igdem Aslan, performing songs from her debut album 'Mortissa'.

'Mortissa' means 'strong, independent woman', and 脟igdem Aslan's new album looks back to the musically-rich period of Turkey and Greece in the 1920s, when 'rebetiko' songs flourished in the cafes of Istanbul, Athens and Piraeus. Like the contemporary jazz of the USA, these songs were associated with the disreputable underclass, and spoke against the status quo of the time with powerful and emotional music.
