Kathryn Tickell introduces a session with the Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band, and its uplifting, colourful sound, combining trumpet, saxophone, tuba, sousaphone, clarinet and trombone with local percussion. The band feature two unique and contrasting styles: first, music derived from Kalbelia, the nomadic snake charmers in a tradition going back centuries; and second, arrangements from Bollywood soundtracks. Also in the programme, a BBC Introducing band plus new releases of World Music from across the globe.
