Next week I am running an interview with Nick Gold from the World Circuit label. Nick has been producing an array of wonderful recordings from around Cuba, Senegal & West Africa for many years now and has won 4 Grammy's for his work with the likes of Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder & the Buena Vista Social Club. He is a very likable man with many stories and more importantly many fine releases on the label. To celebrate 20 years surviving the music industry World Circuit have released an excellent compilation highlighting music from their well known and lesser known acts from over the years. We'll be highlighting this release next week on the show.
