Chris Hawkins sits in with World Music Day

Chris Hawkins sits in for Mary Anne Hobbs with songwriter Chilly Gonzales. Dust off your old musical instruments, make some noise and celebrate World Music Day.

Dust off your old musical instrument, make some noise, and celebrate World Music Day with the Hawk and songwriter Chilly Gonzales.

This morning's mission is to get in touch with your musical side. Whether you've got a clarinet under the bed, a locked piano, or an unrequited love for percussion, this morning is the perfect moment to have a bash again. Or, if you're an absolute beginner, find a way to make a racket.

World Music Day is an annual celebration on June 21 in cities around the world. Its purpose is to promote amateur and professional musicians.

Chilly Gonzales is a Canadian MC, pianist, producer and songwriter. He has collaborated with Peaches, Jane Birkin, Feist, Drake and Daft Punk. He has recently released a book and CD called 'Re-Introduction Etudes', which contains 24 easy-to-play pieces for piano, to help amateur musicians get back on to the piano stool.
