Get into the groove, went the lyrics by Madonna, and it does indeed feel like we're back on track here at Greedy for Best Music. 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. So brace yourselves for another two-hour selection of music worth listening to. Here's a quick rundown of what to expect:
