Around the World
For seven years, Around the World has been the listeners’ passport to a two‑hour odyssey through “music you don’t normally hear on the radio", yet can’t believe you’ve lived without it.
Every week, the show’s companion newsletter keeps the adventure alive, sharing stories behind the sounds and shining a light on the artists shaping today’s global music scene.
From the pulse of Cumbia in South America to the storytelling soul of African Griot… from Irish and Scottish traditions reframed for the modern ear to Arabic electro, Portuguese Fado, Balkan Brass, Bosnian Sevdah, modern Japanese Minyo and Korean Pansori, and the hypnotic sway of desert blues — Around the World roams every continent in search of the extraordinary.
Guided by the World Music Charts Europe and Transglobal Music Chart, the show champions the best new releases from anywhere and everywhere.
Around the World — where borders dissolve, and the music never stops moving.
