The "Globalwize Radioshow #458" brings us a wide array of mesmerising music by the likes of the late and great Japanese pianist and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, followed by Hamburg's Andi Otto and Bangalore's MD Pallavi with their classic "Bangalore Whispers" (read more here), a new release by elusive Kenyan afro-funk groovers The Mighty Cavaliers (read about their previous reissue here), Lisbon's AYOM with music from their latest album "Sa.Li.Va", a unique collaboration between the masterful Dawda Jobarteh (Gambia/Denmark) on kora and Stefan Pasborg (Denmark) on drums, British singer-songwriter Denver Cuss with her new album "Leaving Me" (watch the official companion video below), Hungarian five-piece Söndörgö playing alongside US saxophonist extraordinaire Chris Potter (listen here), a special feature on the anthology "Road of the Gypsies" (only available on Discogs & eBay), including the artists such as Camarón, Goran Bregovic, Ando Drom, Ezma Redzepova & Ensemble Theodosievsky, Musicians of the Nile, Suwa Devi Kálbelya, Bratsch, Taraf de Haidouks and Romica Puceanu & Orchestre Florea Cioaca, while ending on an even higher note with a very special rendition of Beethoven's "Ode an die Freude" (Ode to Joy) performed by Swiss trumpeter/alpine horn player Hans Kennel & Mytha Horns Three.
