JOHN RENBOURN-LEGENDARY GUITAR
Talk to Will Ackerman, Alex De Grassi, or Pierre Bensusan and
you're likely to hear the name John Renbourn. He's a legendary
British musician who founded the folk-fusion group, Pentangle and
helped revitalize the English folk music scene in the 1960s. John
Renbourn is still at it with a recent album called "Traveler's
Prayer" (Shanachie). Renbourn stops in to tell some tales and
talk about guitar.

KIRSTEN BRATEN-BERG: FROM SENEGAL TO SETESDAL
In the Setesdal region of Norway, it seems as if everyone is a
farmer, a silversmith and a musician. Kirsten Braten-Berg, who
is all of those, is probably their most famous export. She's the
best known singer of traditional Norwegian folk music, but she's
also creating new hybrids for her traditional sound, working with
ECM bassist Arild Andersen. We visited Kirsten 3 years ago at
her farm where she was in the midst of a collaboration with
musicians from Senegal and the Ivory Coast. That collaboration
has just come out on a CD called From Senegal to Setesdal (Six
Degrees). We'll revisit Kirsten Braten-Berg.
Wednesday July 14, 1999
ARYEH FRANKFURTER-HARP SONGS FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN
Aryeh Frankfurter (that's his real name) is a multi-
instrumentalist who might be busking on Celtic harp in San
Francisco's Ghiradelli Square one day and wailing on electric
violin with the rock group Azigza the next. On his album, "Harp
Songs of the Midnight Sun" (Lionharp Music), Aryeh takes the
Celtic harp to Scandinavia, playing traditional melodies from
Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Aryeh talks about this unusual
source of Celtic harp music.

JON HASSELL'S RETURN TO SIMPLICITY
Jon Hassell single-handedly created the techno tribal sound
explored by everyone from Peter Gabriel to Steve Roach. In the
past his music has been full of electronic processes and a
collage like mosaic of electronic samples, creating what Hassell
dubbed "Fourth World Music." On his latest CD, Fascinoma
(Waterlily Acoustics), Hassell strips away the electronics for
some organic improvisations with Ry Cooder, Jacky Terrasson and
Indian flutist Ronu Majumdar. Jon Hassell talks about his new
change of direction and reveals the secrets of his breathy, note
bending trumpet sound.
Friday July 16, 1999
AFRO CELT SOUND SYSTEM
What happens when Techno, Celtic and African music converge-- a
new, soulful and propulsive sound, put forth by Afro Celt Sound
System. With African grooves that morph into electronic rhythms,
singers from Ireland and Africa, Uilleann pipes and African
koras, Afro Celt makes a joyful and sensual sound on their second
album, Volume Two: Release (Realworld). We talk with Irish sean
nos singer Iarla O'Lionard, whistle player James McNally and
Sound System savant Simon Emmerson.
