Oh yes, certainly a bonus episode on ‘Oró Sé do Bheatha Bhaile’ would be something very valuable, already what you said in this episode sounds fascinating. All those political entanglements that this kind of song must inevitably fall into, the variation of interpretations through the decades....  For me, a pleasant surprise was the two very different instrumental versions of this song recorded by The Mary Wallopers for the documentary ‘Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds with Shane MacGowan’

"It just goes to show that having these little leads or gateways out there in visible places can be a good thing for those of us who are inclined to dig a little bit deeper."  I love this thought, and the story of your Pretty Saro deep dive. Each of these episodes starts me on my own tangential deep dives, so thank you!

Another trad I met in my youth thanks to Pentangle (who made a more pressing and jazzy version). Great episode with a great closure (Devils by The Rheingans Sisters is reeeeally something)

Sofrito Mixes

Hugo Mendez // After Hours Percussions Mix

Multi Culti magically conjures an EP from ZONGAMIN, whose amazing releases on XL Recordings and Ed Banger have kept fans waiting an unfathomable 13 years.

His return is unpredictable in every sense, stylistically running from Detroit string-house, futuristic electro, ceremonial flute-jazz, to indie folk-tronica – these are high-wire jams of the highest order showcasing a unique virtuosity as a multi-instrumentalist, a truly psychedelic experience that stands as a high water-mark for Multi Culti’s cult ambitions.

*feat. Elliot Arndt on flute*
