TROPICALIA - REVOLUTION IN SOUND (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 2nd December 2024
Tropicalia was a musical revolution in Brazil.
Singer and journalist Monica Vasconcelos meets the key artists and contemporary champions of Tropicalia - from Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil to Marcos Valle and Talking Heads' David Byrne - and explores its enduring musical and political force.
Burning brightly for only few years in the late 1960s, and politically inspired by the uprisings in Paris in May 68, the Tropicalia movement electrified Brazilian music.
It combined the sophistication of bossa nova, samba and baiao with psychedelia, new Beatles-inspired electric sounds and orchestral experimentation. It was a deliberately subversive mix that provoked the country's military regime and led to the exile and imprisonment of some of Brazil's star musicians.
Tropicalia brought a new wave of liberation and energy into Brazilian music.
Earlier in the decade, bossa nova had captured a mood of national optimism but, as the 1960s wore on, the political situation darkened. The military junta, in power since 1964, was drifting into open repression - the arts would be censored, musicians targeted, imprisoned and exiled. A new, more combative approach was called for.
Tropicalia was based around a core group of musicians – Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, the group Os Mutantes, singer Gal Costa and Tom Ze
It was a mash-up of styles which drew on the country's deep roots but pushed the sound elsewhere, radically.
Harvesting influences from inside and outside Brazil, drawing especially on Western rock, classical orchestration and electronic effects, Tropicalia parodied, mixed and sampled global styles.

SHANE MACGOWAN: THE OLD MAIN DRAG (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 30th November 2024
A year has passed since the world lost one of its great songwriters. Journalist and author Sean O'Hagan explores the lyrical genius of Shane MacGowan, presenting him as a voice of the Irish diaspora.
Throughout, we interweave MacGowan's songs and interviews with fresh contributions from cultural icons and those who knew him best, seeking to understand his impact. Although Ireland's population is only 5 million, 70 million people worldwide have Irish ancestry, making the Irish diaspora one of the largest.
The Pogues were a London-Irish band, rather than purely an Irish one - a crucial distinction. This identity is reflected not only in their punk-inflected sound but also in Shane MacGowan's songwriting style, whether through the gritty urban realism of The Old Main Drag or the bruised romanticism of The Broad Majestic Shannon, a love song filled with longing for home. Through six selected songs, we come to appreciate MacGowan's artistry as that of an exile.
Featuring contributions from Bono, Nick Cave, Victoria Mary Clarke, Sir Bob Geldof, Bobby Gillespie, Siobhan MacGowan, David Simon, Daragh Lynch and Peter Doherty.

ANTHONY BLUNT: A QUESTION OF RETRIBUTION? (320kbs-m4a/129mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 20th November 2024
In November 1979, Margaret Thatcher exposed the British art historian Sir Anthony Blunt as a Soviet spy. She revealed that Blunt - openly gay and a former intelligence officer for MI5 - was a member of the infamous Cambridge Five spy ring who had traded secrets with Soviet Russia during the Second World War.
As one of the country's leading academics and a former Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures (a role for which he received his knighthood), Blunt's influence reached to the top of the establishment. In a Britain polarised by the Cold War, Blunt's exposure provoked an unprecedented media storm and turned him into a national hate figure.
Blunt had shared 1,771 top secret documents with Russia during the war and played a key role in the escape of Donald Maclean, Guy Burgess and Kim Philby, fellow members of the Cambridge Five. Ironically, Stalin's regime was so distrustful of everything they received that it is questionable how much impact the information that Blunt shared actually had.
David Cannadine, the current President of the British Academy, reassesses Blunt's career before his exposure as well as the fallout afterwards. He uncovers the controversy which erupted over Blunt's academic position after he was revealed as a spy, and how the academic community came to terms with the revelation of a traitor in its midst.
Eventually stripped of his knighthood and expelled from academic life, Blunt's rapid downfall was driven as much by a hostile disdain for his position as a privileged left-wing intellectual, and by a rampant homophobia in the press that labelled him a 'treacherous Communist poof'.
Can artistic reputations survive political actions or personal disgrace, and what issues does Blunt's story raise for institutional loyalty and professional identity?
David Cannadine speaks to many of Blunt's former students and those directly involved in the raw and personal clash of ideals over Blunt's position, some of whom remained sympathetic to him as a great intellectual and great teacher, and saw themselves as defenders of intellectual liberty against a political witch-hunt.
With Dawn Ades, Christopher Andrew, Miranda Carter, Richard Davenport-Hines, Neil MacGregor, Charles Moore, Charles Saumarez Smith, Deborah Swallow, Sarah Whitfield and Richard Verdi.

Matthew Sweet explores a century of surrealism.
In 1924 Andre Breton published the Manifesto of Surrealism, giving shape to a set of ideas that had a profound effect on cultural and artistic life. Despite the manifesto, Surrealism was less a cast-iron ideology than an evolving set of principles. In short, it aimed to loosen the shackles of rationality and to liberate minds. It drew on our dream lives, our unconscious selves and our nightmare visions. Not simply in the service of shock: surrealism sought to upend settled assumptions and change the world.
We might think first of the visual arts – of vivid and puzzling paintings – but Breton was first of all concerned with writing. And Surrealists went on to use any and all methods to dislocate conventional reason: poems, texts, photographs, collages, film. But in our digital age can the juxtapositions of surrealism carry any urgency? Has its emancipatory potential seeped away with familiarity and the easy ability to cut and paste? Can surrealism still be subversive? And, as we tell the stories and discuss the ideas, can we infuse this programme with an authentic surrealist spirit?
With Louisa Buck, Hamed Maiye, Desmond Morris, Adjoa Osei and Perdita Sinclair.

CARL SAGAN: A PERSONAL VOYAGE (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 13th November 2024
Professor Brian Cox looks back at the work of his all-time science hero, the American astronomer Carl Sagan.
As well as a well respected science career, Sagan is best known for his work in bringing the joy and wonder of science to as wide an audience as possible.
His landmark 13-part TV series, of the early 80s, COSMOS has been seen by a record 60 million people to date.
He was involved in the early days of the US space programme, was a strong advocate for the Search for Extra Terrestrial Intelligence, and his passion for the grandeur of the universe we live in and our place in it inspired a generation of young scientists.
Brian takes a nostalgic look back at the TV show that he credits with leading him into a career in science, and the man who many have called the greatest science populariser of them all.

THIS CULTURAL LIFE - 107. BILL NIGHY (320kbs-m4a/98mb/42mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 31st October 2024
A star of stage and screen, Bill Nighy has enjoyed a fifty year career and is now among Britain's most prolific and much loved actors. Acclaimed for National Theatre roles in plays by David Hare and Tom Stoppard, his popular appeal lies with scene-stealing appearances in films including Pirates Of The Caribbean, Harry Potter and, most famously, Love Actually. Bill Nighy has won Bafta and Golden Globe awards and was Oscar nominated for his starring role in the 2022 historical drama Living. His most recent film is Joy in which he plays obstetrician Patrick Steptoe, one of the pioneers of fertility treatment.
Bill Nighy talks to John Wilson about some of the earliest influences on his career including a school drama teacher. He also recalls joining the Liverpool Everyman rep company in the 1970s and the influence of playwright David Hare who cast him in many of his works including Pravda, The Vertical Hour and Skylight.

THIS CULTURAL LIFE - 105. HANIF KUREISHI (320kbs-m4a/99mb/43mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 17th October 2024
Novelist, playwright and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi's first screenplay, My Beautiful Launderette brought him Oscar and BAFTA nominations in 1985. Five years later his debut novel The Buddha Of Suburbia, set amidst the social divisions of mid 70’s Britain, became a bestseller and was adapted as a BBC television series. After eleven screenplays including My Son The Fanatic, Venus and The Mother, and nine novels, including Intimacy and the Black Album, his latest book is a memoir called Shattered. It records the year he spent in hospital after a fall on Boxing Day 2022 which has left him paralysed.
Hanif talks to John Wilson about the influence of his father, also a writer, who in part inspired his debut novel The Buddha Of Suburbia. He also talks about the influence of Freudian analysis on his writing and how he is coping with the effects of his life-changing accident.

THIS CULTURAL LIFE - 104. NILE RODGERS (320kbs-m4a/98mb/43mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 10th October 2024
Nile Rodgers is one of the most successful and influential figures in popular music. As a songwriter, producer and arranger he has enjoyed a 50 year career with his bands Chic and Sister Sledge, and collaborations with artists including Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Madonna, Daft Punk and Beyoncé.
Bringing his 1959 Fender Stratocaster guitar to the This Cultural Life studio, Nile tells John Wilson how the instrument has been the bedrock of almost every record that he worked on, and acquiring the nickname 'The Hitmaker'. He discusses his bohemian upbringing in 1950s New York with his mother and stepfather who were both drug users. He chooses as one of his most important influences his jazz guitar tutor Ted Dunbar who taught him not only about musical technique but also how to appreciate the artistry of a hit tune. "It speaks to the souls of a million strangers" he was told.
Nile Rodgers reminisces about his musical partner Bernard Edwards, with whom he set up the Chic Organisation after the pair first met on the club circuit playing with cover bands. He discusses their song writing techniques and the importance of what they called 'deep hidden meaning' in lyrics. He also reflects on the untimely death of Bernard Edwards in 1996 shortly after he played a gig with Nile in Tokyo, and why he continues to pay musical tribute to his friend in his globally-touring stage show which includes the songs of Chic and other artists they worked with.
