• Noon The RNZ Concert Classical Chart

  This week's best-selling CDs

• 1:00 PM. Django Reinhardt, Guitar Hero

  Two programmes

  (1) Steve Danby introduces Django Reinhardt, a man he describes as a 'temperamental prima donna', whose wife would carry him through the mud of the gypsy camp in which they lived, so that Reinhardt wouldn't dirty his shoes on his way to work. Danby argues that Reinhardt's exceptional playing makes him one of the most likely jazz instrumentalists to enjoy long-term fame (RNZ)

• 2:00 PM. Global Sounds

  Indigenous music from around the world

  Baul songs from Bengal

  The Bauls are a group of mystic minstrels from Bengal, the region in the northeast of the Indian subcontinent that's now divided between Bangladesh and India. The melodies of Baul songs have their roots in the folk music of Bengal, but with a style of their own, with elements from Sufi song and Hindu bhakti poetry. Typically the songs are accompanied by the dotara (5-string lute), the khamak drum, and a single-stringed drone instrument called the ektara. And there's assorted percussion as well.

  This afternoon's programme features songs from Music of the Honey Gatherers, an album from Baul musician Paban Das Baul (World Music Network TUGCD 1056)
