Host 主持：Janet Yau 游慧姿

Musicians play a vital role in the development and transmission of traditional music. While traditional pieces are passed on from generations to generations through oral tradition, instead of music notation, it naturally gives rise to music families. The new episodes of Songs of the Earth (Cantonese programme), hosted by Janet Yau, will introduce famous music families in Mali, the United States, and India.

世界上許多音樂傳統都不用樂譜，以口傳心授的方式代代相傳，自然造就音樂世家的出現。游慧姿將為大家介紹多位備受尊崇的音樂世家，其中包括西非吟遊詩人(griot/jeli)家族祖巴特(Diabaté / Jobarteh)、斯索高(Sissoko / Cissokho / Suso)、高亞特(Kouyaté / Koité)，美國民歌家族西格(Seeger)，以及印度古典音樂家族湘加(Shankar)。

Host 主持：Chan Chi-chun 陳子晉

In this month's Music from China (Cantonese programme), presenter Chan Chi-chun offers you a sample of the quickly disappearing traditional Cantonese narrative singing called Naamyam. Chan will introduce the structure of Naamyam and its repertoire, as performed by famous singers including Dou Wun, a blind singer, and Ng Wing-mui. Let us enjoy the beautiful genre which has passed through centuries down to this day.

廣東南音於上世紀初紅遍香江，當時不少紈絝子弟流連煙花之地聆聽南音，亦有大戶人家聘請瞽師、師娘登門獻藝。所謂瞽師、師娘，即失明男女藝人。至五十年代以後，電台廣播開始普及，南音亦是極受歡迎的電台節目，深深植入港人耳軌。陳子晉會在節目中跟你一起細味這種屬於上世紀的聲音。
