Must be the blues...

Verity Sharp shares a selection of blues-tinged sounds from across the musical universe - from Chicago to Bamako, Wangkatjungka to Casablanca.

Sometimes you just need to lean into the blues鈥� Verity Sharp shares a selection of blues-tinged sounds from across the musical universe.

There鈥檚 intimate country-blues from Aboriginal Australian Kankawa Nagarra, Queen of the Bandaral Ngadu Delta, gospel-infused recordings made in her home of Wangkatjungka. While in Morocco, the foremost female ambassador of Gnawa music, Asm芒a Hamzaoui, offer up a distinctive take on desert blues with her group Bnat Timbouktou.
