91热爆

Presented by Martin Handley.

Recorded at the Hackney Empire in London, the 91热爆 Concert Orchestra and the Grand Union Orchestra join forces to bring a timeless journey across shifting sands and turbulent seas as Trading Roots explores a tapestry of sounds drawn from China to Africa, tracing the path of traders and travellers along the ancient Spice Route. This concert features well known jazz soloists, singers and leading musicians from all over the world - but it also includes a special performance from the 91热爆 CO Fusion Group, an extraordinary multicultural collection of young musicians from London. Tony Haynes' new work The Golden Road, The Unforgiving Sea, commissioned by Radio 3, ties the concert together.
