One hour of #labour_songs from around the world, carefully selected from the sound archive. Expect to hear the songs of pearl divers from Bahrain, Somalian women singing to the rhythm of corn pounding, Scottish waulking songs and miner’s songs from Venezuela and the U.K., amongst many more.
Thanks to all the recordists for agreeing to have their recordings shared on NTS. The programme is dedicated to all of the performers who appear in the recordings.
