Charlie died recently following a long illness. The 成人快手 World Service is currently repeating some of his programmes. This one was first broadcast in Sept 2006.

This week Charlie travels musically across Africa. Starting in the Atlantic on the West coast, with a beautifully muted perfomance by Salif Keita in collaboration with Cesaria Evora, then on to Mali and a giant leap on to Uganda before ending up in Tanzania, ready to plunge into the Indian Ocean. It's beautiful music all the way.
