In Focus: Kakraba Lobi w/ Special Guest SK Kakraba

NTS pays tribute to Kakraba Lobi, the Ghanaian master of the gyil, a wooden, xylophone-like instrument deeply connected to the musical and spiritual traditions of Lobi and Dagara people of Ghana, Burkina Faso, and the Ivory Coast. Kakraba Lobi’s career spanned decades, during which he performed internationally, taught extensively, and recorded works that remain definitive in the world of gyil music, at home in Ghana and abroad. Musician SK Kakraba, his son and heir as a virtuoso gyil performer, reflects on his late father’s life and legacy, while sharing his own journey and the artistry he inherited. This episode includes an exclusive performance by SK Kakraba, alongside intimate excerpts from interviews. Invitation, interview and mix by Nelly Chevaillier Special thanks: Maxime Bonneville, Salvino Campos, Olivier Gros and La Room Studio, Maia Hawad, Manon Lutanie, Jesse Peterson, SK Kakraba, Siliwood Music, May Rose Smeback

Post Punk Art Rock

NTS explores the music produced at Cold Storage recording studios on Acre Lane, Brixton between 1979 and 1987; The former meat pie factory was initially used predominantly by This Heat as the post-punk outsiders' recording studio. After the This Heat trio (Charles Bullen, Charles Hayward, Gareth Williams) disbanded, they would continue to run the studio space, creating a web of vital projects and artists now using the studio and practice space, ranging from Robert Wyatt to Adrian Sherwood, Tracey Thorn to Henry Cow.

This collection explores some of the music away from This Heat recordings that was recorded in the space during that time.
