Musical Migrants

Music has been the force that motivates musicians and music lovers to cross borders, oceans or continents to find a new home. In this series of musical vignettes we meet Koko Noge who left her home in Osaka, Japan, for Chicago; New Yorker Scott Feiner who was lured to Rio de Janeiro by the Brazilian pandeiro, and Ewa Wolf who left home in Belgium to play the bandoneon, the quintessential instrument of tango, in Buenos Aires.

Produced by Rachel Hopkins, a Falling Tree Production for the BBC
