Frequent listeners of our quality audio content and those new to this page can now rejoice. Late last week, we uploaded a brand-new episode of WeltBeat host and selector Jean Trouillet's regular far-reaching broadcast format to our greedio Mixcloud channel. Originally aired live on Frankfurt community radio X, the show is now saved to our archive and streaming on demand. That being said, Trouillet's latest show covers a lot of musical ground from Americana and Bluegrass-styled productions to avant-garde compositions, nu jazz and more. Here's a short overview of the artists included and what to expect musically speaking:
