GoGo Penguin in session

Live music from Manchester trio GoGo Penguin, recorded in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Theatre. Plus saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa's inspirations.

Jumoké Fashola presents a session from Manchester trio GoGo Penguin recorded in the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Theatre. In the past decade GoGo Penguin have won widespread acclaim for their blend of acoustic jazz and classical minimalism with the driving rhythms and anthemic riffs of electronic dance music. Here they perform tracks from their self-titled new album for Blue Note Records.

Also in the programme leading US altoist Rudresh Mahanthappa shares some of the music that inspires him, including a dazzling track by Indian vocal virtuoso Begum Parween Sultana.

Produced by Dominic Tyerman for Somethin’ Else.
