- The Festival in the Desert, staged annually in the remote dunes outside Timbuktu, is a cultural crossroads for the Tuareg community of Northern Mali and a mecca for World Music aficionados. Afropop Worldwide, one of the leading programs dealing with the diverse music of the African diaspora, travelled to the 2003 edition to capture the atmosphere of the informal music sessions held in the artists' tents and behind the scenes. Festival in the Desert: the Tent Sessions features performances and interviews from world-famous participants such as Ali Farka Toure and Robert Plant, as well as traditional performers little known outside of the region, capturing the magnificent visual and musical richness of the Festival, and of the Sahara itself.
- Dimpie Tshabalala and his jazz quartet journey from their home in Johannesburg, South Africa to Israel for a five day tour. Despite a childhood marked by the forced removals of Sophiatown and the difficulties of the apartheid era, Tshabalala has chosen a path of joy and music. Now he has come to Israel with an irrepressible African optimism, and an eagerness to explore other musical traditions. He and his quartet visit the ancient holy sites of Jerusalem, and bring new life to the local jazz clubs. They jam with Israeli and Palestinian musicians, including rising star Avishai Cohen and Broadway personality Dudu Fischer, becoming interested in Arabic rhythms along the way. A look at the Middle East through African eyes and a jazz sensibility.
