I’ve been a fan of the BBC’s desert island discs this year, it’s made me think twice about a bunch of people that I’d never really thought much about. Vidal Sassoon is the first of those that springs to mind, but also Jerry Springer and Shami Chakrabati.
So, very much a work in progress, but my DiD’s:
1 – Manqabat In Raga Bhairvi, by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
2 – Kothbiro, by Ayub Ogada
3 – Utru Horas, by Orchestra Baobab
4 – Dirt Off Your Shoulder, by Jay-Z
5 – Harmony, by Hariprasad Chaurasia and Shiv Kumar Sharma
6 – El Dia De Mi Suerte, Hector Lavoe
I’ve got 4 more tracks to come, they will do soon. Paraphrasing Tim Robbins in High Fidelity, inevitably I’ve been into “whatever world music was trendy that week.” Of course I am.
Which reminds me, a similar film list should come at some point soon….
