Yasmin Hamdan: New sounds from Lebanon

Latest intercontinental sounds from theartsdesk’s resident world music freak Peter Culshaw include a dose of hot Cuban strains old and new, extracts from excellent new albums from Malian diva Oumou Sangare and Yasmin Hamdan (see photo above) from Lebanon, now based in Paris.
