How music can unite, influence and persuade, from Burkina Faso to India and Mali to Calais

With Tina Daheley.

As Burkina Faso prepares for presidential elections, rapper Smockey remembers his role in last year鈥檚 popular uprising which ended the rule of former President Blaise Compaore. In neighbouring Mali how did the terror attack in Bamako affect music in Timbuktu? From music being censored to a music video produced by India鈥檚 chief censor, Sandip Roy reports. And, we hear about an attempt to create musical solidarity with the migrants camped out in Calais.
