BCC Radio 3 – Freeness: A Revelation of Light
Corey Mwamba presents music that brings light in times of darkness. Night turns into day with a ritualistic awakening from Mexican group Produtziones Aldabar and Peruvian artist Miguel Flores explores pachacuti – an Andean concept of renewal, rebirth and reversal – on his 1983 album Primitivo.
We couldn’t programme a show on this theme without including the greatest giver of light, Sun Ra. Corey selects something from his symphonic jazz album The Pleiades, which is dedicated to the nearest star cluster to Earth, the constellation Taurus.
