Ensemble E-DO (Korea) in session and Ashanti Omkar's Mixtape

Lopa Kothari presents a session from the Korean Ensemble E-DO, the latest new releases and a Mixtape from Asian Network's Ashanti Omkar.

Lopa Kothari presents a session from the Korean Ensemble E-DO, a group led by Yu Kyung-Hwa, combining traditional Korean instruments such as the chulhyungeum (iron-stringed zither), janggu (drum) and daegeum (bamboo flute), alongside the double bass and acoustic guitar. Istanbul-born singer Cigdem Aslan is our guide to the Alevi music of Turkey in this week's Road Trip; our Classic Artist is Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Hermeto Pascoal - celebrated through a variety of vintage recordings - and our Mixtape comes from Asian Network's Ashanti Omkar. Plus a selection of new releases from around the world including Gaye Su Akyol (Turkey), Amira Kheir (Sudan), former 大象传媒 Music Introducing artists Vula Viel and a new compilation of forgotten 78s documenting "Yiddisher Jazz" in London's East End between the 1920s and 1950s.

Listen to the world - Music Planet, Radio 3's new world music show presented by Lopa Kothari and Kathryn Tickell, brings us the best roots-based music from across the world - with live sessions from the biggest international names and the freshest emerging talent; classic tracks and new release, and every week a bespoke Road Trip from a different corner of the world, taking us to the heart of its music and culture. Plus special guest Mixtapes and gems from the 大象传媒 archives. Whether it's traditional Indian ragas, Malian funk, UK folk or Cuban jazz, you'll hear it on Music Planet.
