British-Nigerian DJ Dare Balogun traces the journey of African rhythm across time and space, exploring how traditional genres like highlife, juju, soukous and makossa laid the foundation for modern dance music.
Joe Hisaishi (born Mamoru Fujisawa), is possibly most famous for his soundtrack work & creative relationship with animator, director & Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, but his diverse & un-categorisable solo ventures throughout the 80s and 90s are perhaps just as beguiling. Reaching his artistic stride when pop music Japan was at its most energetic and creative in a generation, Hisaishi's projects referenced jazz & city pop, organic environmental music, and the space age computer music of Yellow Magic Orchestra.
This In Focus is a 60 minute venture through the world of Joe Hisaishi, collated by Timetable's Holodec.
