Hear the World
Djivan Gasparyan from Armenia is the grand master of the duduk, the Armenian oboe made from apricot wood. At the Music Meeting in Nijmegen, he played tranquil and melancholic folk melodies with his duduk quartet. The Stevens church in the city of Nijmegen provided an ideal acoustic space to catch the Armenian soul in the enchanting delecate sounds of the duduk.
The Black Sea Orchestra consists of musicians representing musical traditions from eight countries on the Black Sea: Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Russia, Moldavia, Ukraine, Romania and Georgia. Every member of the group contributes a composition from his or her own tradition to the Music Meeting while the other members respond with spontaneous improvisation.
Hosted by Dheera Sujan. Produced by RNW Music.

The State We're In (Midweek Edition)
“The art of smuggling”
The war on smuggling: Matthew Bogdanos is both a Reservist in the US Marines, and a lawyer. He was in Iraq when the looting of the national museum began, and moved quickly to recover its treasures. He’s worked across several continents and even been shot at while on the job.
The art of smuggling: Jonathan Tokeley-Parry spent three years behind bars for his role in smuggling artefacts out of Egypt. And he’s unrepentant, arguing that smuggling antiquities is the right thing to do if it gets them out of the hands of corrupt, incompetent officials.
Africa in Progress
“The challenges of publishing books in Africa”
What was the last book you read? And was it published in Africa? Chimurenga, StoryMoja, Farafina and Kwani are names of African publishing houses. The middle class is reading and buying more books and so the industry is thriving here and there, but there are many challenges: illiteracy, many languages, censorship, competition from abroad, and now: electronic publishing.
Our guests on this show are Divine Fuh (Cameroon) and Mirjam de Bruijn (Netherlands).
