Mary Ann Kennedy with new music from across the globe, and a live session with Senegalese kora player Seckou Keita. Plus news of the winners of the Songlines Music Awards 2015.

In a country where lineage is important, Seckou Keita had a head start: his father is from the Keita royal line, and his mother was a Cissokho, a clan associated with musicians. He has been a champion of the kora music of the Casamance region of southern Senegal, but he plays styles from throughout the country, embracing the four different traditional kora tunings - for this session he will be playing on four koras. His solo album '22 Strings' is released this month.

Simon Broughton of Songlines magazine will be announcing their 2015 award winners, covering their four categories of Best Artist, Best Group, Cross-Cultural Collaboration and Newcomer.

Plus the latest from 成人快手 Introducing, and another dip into the Radio 3 World Music Archive.

World on 3 sessions are available for download as a podcast via the home page.
