About

Join Nigel Wood on Ear to the Globe, Ireland’s most comprehensive guide to new World Music releases on Irish radio. A two-hour weekly programme, it features international releases from all the major artists of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Arabic countries, as well as significant representation from European and North American folk traditions, plus cross-cultural partnerships and fusions and odd and quirky gems and curios.  
 
Get ready for a vibrant mix of global sounds, featuring artists like Dub Colossus, Amadou & Mariam, Khaled, Tinariwen, Susana Baca, Rodrigo & Gabriela, Mariza, Gillian Welch, and The Unthanks. 
Explore a rich tapestry of genres, from soukous, gnawa, and cumbia to Balkan brass bands, Indian slide guitar, and Brazilian psychedelia. Immerse yourself in the sounds of koras, ngonis, balafons, saz, oud, and kamancheh, alongside fiddles, accordions, sitars, and gamelans. And for a modern twist, expect electrifying beats and dance-driven rhythms woven into the mix.
