It can be daunting for a broadcaster to welcome back the same guests within just two months, after all, what else is there to talk about? But when you’re interviewing a New Yorker that has built her own kora and a musician that can tell you about her birthplace in Inner Mongolia, there’s fat chance of running out of things to ask. Moreover, as these two women cab their way around London transporting instruments the size of small sail boats, through a merry-go-round of gigs/rehearsals/this radio show, we become totally engaged in their voyage of self-discovery. As an embryonic duo formed at SOAS just this year, the pair are still navigating the tricky waters of the live circuit; learning about their sound – how best to mic it, the perfect reverb to enhance it, and the right venues that can accommodate it. Choosing the best photographers on a shoe-string budget, creating a social media presence, but most of all, finding new and fresh joys whilst composing music together. When 21 + 21 adds up to a magical combination of Chinese zheng & West African kora cultivated by a talented young pair called 42 Strings, we become their eager travel companions on an exhilarating journey. Hear a prelude of the tantalising concoction by Muqi Li & Althea Sullycole on this show before their concert at A World In London -Live at Southbank Centre on July 1st!
