A listening post in the unexplored landscape of the independent alternative blues, folk and pop labels. Special edition: Textures 3.
Terra Incognita is a programme featuring diverse, contemporary music by musicians you rarely or never hear on Dutch radio.
A voyage of discovery for the curious music lover with a broad musical interest. Relax the ear and discover the sound!
Episode 134.
A few times a year, Terra Incognita is also broadcast on the fifth Wednesday of the month. Subtitled Textures, the content of the programme changes slightly: the music is interspersed with short poems. Tonight, we present the third episode of this poetic addition to Terra Incognita. We hear music by Gaspar Claus, Emily Portman, Aukai, The Eternal Promise, Lal Waterson and Anne Paceo, among others.
As far as the poems are concerned, we are going across the border in this episode. We hear contributions from China, Austria, Syria, Spain, Costa Rica, Iceland, Bulgaria, Ireland, Argentina, Hungary and India. There are some well-known, but mostly many unknown names.
Sit back and enjoy this journey of discovery through music and the spoken word.
