Download Guests Neil Brand and Plinio Fernandes take us to Paris and Brazil
Picking up from Let Him Go, Let Him Tarry, the final song last week, Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye add the next five tracks to the playlist.
Composer and pianist Neil Brand, this week's studio guest, alongside Brazilian guitarist Plinio Fernandes, explores the musical detail of the tracks, as connections are explored which link one composition to another. Last week we went from a country/rap smash hit to a traditional Irish folk song via a riotous rodeo, but where will this week's journey of discovery take us?
Presenters Cerys Matthews and Jeffrey Boakye
Producer Jerome Weatherald
