Throw down your heart: Africa Sessions - Béla Fleck (banjo)

A few years back, American banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck went on a journey to Africa to explore the roots of the banjo and record an album. Today in Global Sounds we hear the results of his travels, from studio sessions with established stars such as Malian singer Oumou Sangare to outdoor recordings of the giant marimba with the Muwewesu Xylophone Group from Uganda (Rounder 610634)
