Cerys handpicks your Sunday soundtrack and chats Nigerian pop with Yeye Taiwo of The Lijadu Sisters. Plus Irish musician and songwriter Cathy Jordan tells us about her latest project involving crankie boxes and festival director Ben Mandelson on this year's WOMEX.

Yeye Taiwo is revisiting the 1979 documentary film Konkombe 鈥� The Nigerian Pop Music Scene by British documentarian, Jeremy Marre. In the documentary The Lijadu Sisters are seen with their young children in tow and often surrounded by all-male musicians and producers, as they try to get their ideas across.

Plus director Sue Kim tells us about her documentary on The Last Women of The Sea, and how the Haenyeo women have impacted her life since making the film.

Expect music from around the world and across the musical spectrum to accompany your Sunday with tracks from Marcos Valle, Miles Davis, John Barry and Cate Le Bon.
