Episode 250.
A listening post in the little-known musical landscape of independent and alternative blues, folk and pop labels.
A journey of discovery for curious music lovers with broad tastes. Relax your ears and discover Terra Incognita!
Episode 250
This edition has a celebratory feel. Two hundred and fifty hours of music by storytellers, stress-busters, hip-shakers and musical trailblazers — artists you rarely hear on mainstream radio.
Over the years, Terra Incognita has broadcast around 3,500 tracks, many of which have lyrics that are an important part of the experience. You can revisit them all on the website and in the app. In this episode, we look back while also introducing a few new discoveries.
A definitive “Best Of” would be impossible, of course, so this selection is very much a matter of instinct. What remains is a varied mix of styles and genres that captures the spirit of the programme. Enjoy listening!
