Hi folks:
First, my condolences to all of Charlie's friends and colleagues at the BBC and around the world. I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but he enriched my life and the lives of millions.
I have a question about a recording Charlie played a few months ago. It was from Burundi, possibly recorded during the 1960s, and it was made up of field recordings, wonderful music. Do any of you know what the recording was, and whether it's available, especially as a download? I'm a DJ in St. Louis, USA, planning a program which will pay tribute to Charlie and his work, and I'd love to find that recording to play on the air. You can reply off-forum; my e-mail address is:

Thanks, all!
Peace,
