Blues from Madagascar and West Africa feature in this week’s Global Sounds.
Lala Njava sings a Malagasy-style blues inspired by a woman called Mama Sana, the resident shaman in the village where she grew up.
And Alhousseini Anivolla, guitarist in the popular Niger-based band Etran Finatawa, takes centre stage in a solo album of Saharan desert blues.
