Kathryn Tickell shares three traditional bandura tracks picked by Julian Kytasty, music director of the New York Bandura Ensemble. Born in Detroit but descending from a Ukrainian family of refugees who fled the country after World War II, Julian is a third generation player of the bandura, a stringed instrument similar to the lute and the zither and typical of Ukraine.

Elsewhere in the show, Kathryn selects new releases including Irish music performed on banjo and harmonica courtesy of Enda Scahill and Joel Andersson, improvisations on herdanger fiddle from Norway, and a resurfaced track from 1980s Rwanda from wife and husband duo Bizimungu Diudonne and Agnes Umbibizi.
