Tañedor preciso (y precioso) de tantos instrumentos de cuerda pulsada, Juan José Robles dio ayer tarde una hermosa clase magistral en Los Viernes de la Tradición, celebrándose estas semanas en San Sebastián de los Reyes (Madrid), y hoy repetirá en nuestra vecina Portugal, en el festival de Castrelo Branco. Qué mejor que disfrutar de su exquisita música durante toda la primera parte de la última Tarataña con el reloj señalando aún las horas de verano. En la segunda, hablamos de El Magusto, la fiesta de finales de octubre donde se asan castañas, se recibe al invierno y se mezcla con las tradiciones celtas de las ánimas que nos vienen a visitar estos días, los rituales cristianos a los muertos y la fiesta del disfraz sarcástico que burla al miedo. Y nos hemos centrado para el ello, como ejemplo, en el veterano festival de Carbajo (Cáceres). Al final del programa, anunciamos el encuentro de Animeros de la semana que viene en Bullas (Murcia), a donde se trasladará la Tarataña para grabar un programa allí mismo. En su orden de escucha, esta es la lista: 1.- Juanjo Robles, “Geosmina” 4:26, “Polka ibérica” (con Diego Galaz) 2:46, “A mi lado” (con Carmen Mª Martínez, Roberto Cubero y Jaime Lafuente) 4:53, “Parrandas de Alhama” 3:41, “Latitudes” (con Matthieu Saglio) 3:26 y “Huele a pan tierno” 3:51 2.- Kalàscima, “Bombimbó” 3:15 3.- Oysterband, “20 de abril” 3:26 4.- El Naán, “Mujer que corre con lobos” 5:55 5.- Blanca y Chuchi, “Jota pica bien” 3:21 6.- Animeros de San Blas de Bullas, “Parrandas de la tía Encarnación” 2:10 y “Jotica” 1:40 7.- Manuel Luna y La Cuadrilla Maquilera, “Al oriente me fui” (con Curro Piñana) Escuchar audio

Libby Purves meets actor Brian Cox; adventurer Jason Lewis; artist Adela Jusic and singer June Tabor. Actor Brian Cox has performed in the West End, on Broadway, at the National Theatre and the Royal Court. He is currently playing Jack in Conor McPherson's The Weir at the Donmar Warehouse. Brian joined Dundee Rep as a young man and since then has carved out a successful theatre and Hollywood career - his films include Manhunter, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and Coriolanus. The Weir is at the Donmar Warehouse. Jason Lewis is an adventurer who became the first person to circumnavigate the earth using human power. His journey took over 13 years, starting in 1994 and finishing in 2007. Using only the power of his body he travelled 46,505 miles across five continents, two oceans and one sea. His book, The Expedition - Dark Waters, is the first in a trilogy about his experiences and is published by Billy Fish Books. Adela Jusic is a Bosnian artist whose work is part of Conflicted Memory, a show featuring eight female artists who have experienced life in conflict zones. Born in Sarajevo, Adela's work is inspired by her father who was a sniper in the Bosnian army and was himself killed by a sniper's bullet. Conflicted Memory is at the Alan Cristea Gallery in London. June Tabor is widely recognised as one of Britain's leading folk singers. Her style straddles folk and jazz and she often sings unaccompanied. At last year's Radio 2 Folk Awards she won Singer of the Year and, with the Oysterband, she also picked up best group and best album. Her latest band and album - both called Quercus - feature Iain Bellamy on saxophone and Huw Warren on piano. Quercus is released on ECM records and the band are performing at the Salisbury Festival. Producer: Paula Mcginley.
Clare Balding returns with a new series of walks based on suggestions from listeners to the programme. The series begins as Clare joins John Jones, lead singer and melodeon player of the folk rock group, Oysterband. Back in 2009, John decided to bring together the two passions in his life, walking and music. Marrying the private and public for the first time, he set off on the Feet Don't Fail Me Tour, in which he walked from gig to gig sometimes covering up to 20 miles a day before arriving in the next town for the next evening's show. Since then, John has completed two further walking tours, the latest being the "Spine of England" in May 2011 during which he walked with his group the Reluctant Ramblers across the Pennines. Playing gigs in and around the Peak District, he picked up friends, fans and fellow musicians along the way. Today Clare joins John high up in the Chiltern Hills. They take one of the most spectacular paths down the chalk escarpment and on to the Ridgeway, walking through the villages of Crowell and Chinnor before descending into the Vale of Oxfordshire. Accompanied by Darren Spratt, Walks Leader with the Chiltern Society, they pass through red kite country and follow ancient footpaths to arrive at the Towersey Folk Festival where John will perform at the end of the walk. Presenter: Clare Balding Producer: Helen Chetwynd.
