Radio show for my aunt

My aunt Kathleen Kay (my mum's sister) known to just about everyone simply as Kay. She played the violin at school and then took up the guitar, as did I. She was a linguist with Spanish being one of the languages she spoke fluently and she loved the music of Joan Baez and much of the music from South America - her partner was from Venezuela. So this show is dedicated to her.

Buena Vista Social Club - Chan Chan
Paul Anderson - Charlie Ritchie
Sara Tavares - Ponto de Luz
Songhoy Blues - Yersi Yadda
Rupa & the April Fishes - Culpa de la Luna
Diego Blanco - Ye Banks and Braes
Catrin Finch - Listen to the Grass Grow

Edward Foster - Appassionata
Gogol Bordello - Break The Spell
