I've come out of retirement to share some things. I hope you are all well. From indoors, I've been thinking about music in public spaces or smaller private spaces, spontaneity, the acoustics, the group and crowd shared experience and so on. Something most of us absolutely take for granted. Never again! Ending with today's extraordinarily emotional nationwide clap for NHS staff.

I recommend headphones for this one. I doubt you will be able to eat, drink, study, write, dance or sing while listening. Concentrating on anything else may be very difficult. But a good heavy dose of aural niceties including a reminder to follow your own path from Us3, an internal polar shift from Pigshackle, a postponement from Emiliana Torrini and also my little jingle which might help to deprogram you, care of The Andy K Show. And more so do listen through....

This episode is to accompany all of our hopes for a sunny summer of love. Neko Case's new album 'Middle Cyclone' is one to pick up, and if you are a Balkan fanatic, Ahilea's 'Svetlana' is right up your street. A little nostalgia with a track from Ojos de Brujo's 'Vengue' (their new album 'Aocaná' is out now) and some other little goodies to get you in the mood.

This is a Christmas podcast...from around the world. It is also nearly 1am on Christmas day so Happy Holidays and I will get the track details up as soon as possible. Here is some (mostly Christmasy) English folk, with a bit of Alan Lomax, Ariel Ramirez, the London Bulgarian Choir and much more including an extra bonus track at the end which very barely fits the remit but I couldn't resist. Enjoy your eggnog and remember maybe to give something to those less fortunate...if you can. But you don't need me to remind you of that.

Best and be safe,

An ode to Late Junction (BBC Radio 3) one of the best programmes available online...As you settle down for the evening stick this episode on...let it take you into sleep. I am delving into British Folk, of the modern kind...there is a little bit of that here, but there will be more to come. Here you will find a bit of folk, a bit of softly thoughtful sound, spaces and words.

Someone on the Sound of the World forum said that they liked it '1 degree above zero' so that is this week's feel. Rather than a bar (smoky dimly lit and underground) though, I am wrapped in a blanket sitting round a fire waiting for the kettle to boil and its a little chilly because its dusk.

Starting with a little Canadiana, then a sevdalinka from an album called Bent Basa (www.myspace.com/bentbasa) which I highly recommend you purchase immediately. Moving into, and strangely it blends, a bit of flamenco based music, first from El Puchero Del Hortelano in Granada (also on myspace), then Marina Heredia. The lovely Kroke from Poland bring us to Ederlezi from Le Temps des Gitans and Je t'ai cherché from Transylvania soundtracks. This episode is wrapped up with Les Italiens, a couple of melancholy songs of Balkan origin and finally a fantastic track from Ramallah Underground. Stay til the end!

Full track listings to come - apologies but I am eager to post this episode. Thanks to Jamie Renton for allowing my at the decks this week and Charlie Gillett for such wonderful support...and Robert Soko hvala ti umjesto sudioništvo današji seta zaslužno.

This is not strictly jazz or manouche or even 'world music'. I am thinking single malt whisky, cigarette, trying to decipher a conversation two tables away, but you can only hear every other word, in French, but it sounds controversial and intriguing. This is pensive, moody, romantic, intimate, tragic.

Ce n'est pas nécessairement jazz ou musique de manouche ou même 'du monde '. Je pense le single malt whisky, une cigarette, tout en essayant de déchiffrer d'une conversation tout pres, mais vous pouvez seulement entendre chaque autre mot, en anglais, mais il semble controversé et intrigues. C'est morose, pensif, romantique, intime, tragique.

Enjoy. xx Canyella

Instructions – invite at least two friends round for an impromptu gypsy fest (hip belts optional)...drink copious amount of wine (or absinthe if you are going for the exotic approach) and dance until you fall into a drunken messy but happy heap loving each other. Take nap. [PLAY LOUD]

Many thanks to those who sent me their tracks last minute (Forty Thieves, BJ Nevenko, Sacha Dieu, Typsy Gypsy).

Au Delà du feu de Camp Gitan

Des instructions - invitez au moins deux amis chez vous pour un fest gitan impromptu (la hanche ceinture avec les coins, facultatif). Buvez la quantité copieuse de vin (ou d'absinthe si vous desirez l'approche exotique) et de danse jusqu'à ce que vous tombiez dans un tas malpropre mais heureux, ivre faisant l'amour entre eux. Prenez un petit somme. [ JEU FORT]

This is organic tziganes to cuddle by or to sob to, depending , I suppose on what kind of day you are having. With any luck you can find someone to wrap yourself around. If you would prefer to rave in a more nihilistic mad sort of way, check out part 2. [PLAY LOUD]

Special thanks to Gaetano Fabri for inspiration, Sacha Dieu for Tutti Frutti and Norgi for such a beautiful song!

From Peret (the King of rumba) to Pantanito (nuevo-rumba). This form of rumba emerged when Catalan gypsies literally imported Cuban rumba (like the first track I have included) into their music. Rumba is happy, not dramatic like flamenco with a signature sound of el ventilador where the guitar, rather than drums, gives the rhythm.

Check out compilations such as '25 Rumba Catalan Hits' from K Industria (www.kindustria.com) and the forthcoming Achili Funk (available in Spain end of May and UK in September – www.myspace.com/achilifunk). And for current stuff check out the members of http://groups.myspace.com/rumbagitana.

Maybe catch you in Barcelona at KGB on a Thursday sometime this summer – in the meantime enjoy the podcast.
