This programme is all about good news for lovers of African music and good news for lovers of African Theatre. There is authentic Mtshingo sound that comes from two foot length of plastic pipe played at a special music workshop in Botswana. The Botswana International School of Music, or BISM for short owes its origins partly to South Africa's bandleader and trumpeter par excellence, Hugh Masekela. He had the idea of a music school back in 1982 when a hugely successful music Festival took place at the Universityof Botswana. The School's Director of Activities, David Slater, has been telling Edric Gorfinkel how this need was met.
