Lopa Kothari - Quarteto Fuego in Session, ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing

Lopa Kothari presents new music from around the world, plus a live session with Argentina's Quarteto Fuego and Jesus Hidalgo and a feature on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing scheme.

Lopa Kothari with tracks from across the globe, plus a live session with Argentina's Quarteto Fuego and Jesus Hidalgo, plus ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing comes to World on 3.

Quarteto Fuego, Argentina's 'Fire Quartet', consists of four young players bringing a contemporary approach to tango - bandoneon player Clemente Carrascal, violinist Christine Brebes, pianist Matias Feigin and bass player Facundo Benavidez. Singer Jesus Hildago has become something of a national icon in Argentina, having sung a version of their national anthem with Mercedes Sosa in 2008. They are currently performing with the Tango Fire Company at the Peacock Theatre in London.

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing, the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ's new talent scheme which gives undiscovered and unsigned music artists a platform, will for the first time feature world music in 2015, through working with World on 3. Lopa Kothari writes:

"Are you a brilliant Turkish saz player living in London? Or maybe a fine traditional Sufi singer in Birmingham? Perhaps you have a whole new take on folk roots music? You might be famous in your own community, but how do you get heard beyond that? The answer could be the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing Uploader. Since 2007 ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing has done a great job of picking up and promoting new talent across the UK, well supported by both ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ local and ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ network stations. But not all music fits into the music policy of the national stations. So this is where World on 3 comes in. The World on 3 team will listen to every submission. If we like what you upload, you could hear it being played on the programme. We might even ask you to come in and play live on air. And who knows, there may be a chance to play on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ stage at Womad, the most prestigious world music festival around.
If ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing had been around in my day this is just the thing that would have given me and my band a chance to be heard across the UK and who knows maybe all over the World! So, go on, upload your stuff to ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing and open up your music to a whole new world of possibilities.".
