Having shaken off the holiday fog, we are well underway and busy again, sharing extraordinary music from around the globe with you. As is WeltBeat host and selector Jean Trouillet, who follows up his most recent 'African Presence' special with DJ Horst Senegal with a brand-new instalment of his far-reaching Globalwize format on Frankfurt community radio X, now up and streaming exclusively in our Greedio channel on Mixcloud.
