Zonzo Compagnie
A journey through folk music from around the world.
concept & context
Zonzo Compagnie
The world is full of beautiful songs: lullabies, songs for celebrating, songs for mourning, songs for reaping or sowing, songs with a crazy story, songs for going out, …
Especially for you, Radio Lomax will go in search of these hidden gems. This new band with three beautiful voices and two punchy instrumentalists will bring them to life. They take their inspiration from Alan Lomax. Maybe his name doesn’t ring a bell, but all his life he was travelling, in search for the most beautiful songs to save them from oblivion. The result: a dizzying archive full of stories and songs that has inspired countless musicians.
Now Radio Lomax will play you a series of wondrous songs, found in Alan Lomax’s archive (or just around your corner).
