A little bit sweet, a little bit sad, a little bit silly - Lupini keeps it (mainly) horizontal with a mix of dubwise sounds, psychedelic rock, synth-pop and new wave.

New York based artist, musician and NTS resident Rahill presents a two-hour deep dive into Coltrane's prolific volume of work on Impulse, arguably the most important US jazz label of all time.

Wendo Kolosoy

Wendo Kolosoy

Wendo Kolosoy has been played on NTS shows including Highlife & Sunshine Show w/ Tryb, with Amba first played on 29 April 2023.

It's hard to believe that Wendo Kolosoy had his first hit in 1948, the evergreen "Marie Louise". Similar to what Rufus Thomas did for soul in the US, Kolosoy laid the foundations for what became the Congolese rumba. Over the years, he has always been recognised as the father of modern African music. He gave his last concert in 2004 - surely making him one of the longest-playing performers in the world.
