Durante 10 años, reporteros de la BBC de Londres viajaron por cincuenta países --Corea del Norte, India, Córcega, China, Cuba, Irán, Brasil, Mozambique, Turquía y muchos más-- grabando la música local para realizar luego reportajes para BBC Radio 3.

Esas más de cien horas de grabaciones de alta calidad están ahora disponibles gratuitamente en la web de la BBC --World Music on Radio 3 - Current Programmes and Archive--, con narraciones en inglés.

No hace falta ser un melómano para disfrutar esta joya de las músicas del mundo.
