Kathryn Tickell shares the results of a new chapter of our Global Encounters sessions - a special feature where two musicians are invited to collaborate remotely, drawing on their deep knowledge of traditional instruments to push the boundaries of folk and classical music. This time, we invited Indian ghatam virtuoso Giridhar Udupa and Polish violinist and singer Kasia Kapela to join forces and record new music exclusively for Music Planet.

Elsewhere in the show, more cross-genre collaborations with a track from Africa Express鈥檚 new album Bahidor谩 and a song from the forthcoming project of British folk band Mishra and sufi vocalist Deepa Shakthi; and we hear a classic track from Leonardo 鈥淔laco鈥� Jim茅nez, the Texan singer and master accordionist who helped popularize the conjunto, or norte帽o, a subgenre of regional Mexican music which developed in Southern Texas.
