public understanding as Amanda Armstrong reports. [T;%]

"The Internationalisation of Education". Between 1980 and 2000,

THE PLANET - Lucky Oceans (Doug Spencer on Mondays) with jazz, blues,
folk styles, art music and more in a show artfully arranged for radio.
[abc.net.au/rn/music/planet/] for playlists and further details. [T;%]
Mon.: Terms like 'eclectic' and 'multi-skilled' barely begin to do
justice to Canada’s Daniel Lapp. Equally at home on fiddle and trumpet,
this gifted composer/arranger and improvisor has a deep grasp of very
different genres – from celtic folk though to post-electric Miles
(Davis). On Reunion Daniel Lapp and Friends lean to folk, but it has
many fine originals and surprising touches. Daniel's friends are some
of the UK's finest roots musicians, most of whom he'd last seen more
than a decade earlier, when Daniel spent a deal of time in the UK. They
include guitarist Tony McManus, concertina ace Simon Thoumire, harpist
Mary McMaster and accordionist Karen Tweed. Kathryn Tickell plays
fiddle and Northumbrian smallpipes. Daniel also enjoys some remarkable
exchanges with pianist David Milligan.
Tue.: Dom Minasi is one of the greatest jazz guitarists. He may not
be one of the greatest 'careerists', but the world – including a former
US president - has begun to catch up with the 61-year-old. Since 1993
Dom has been a happy man with his own label and has 'only done what I
want to do'. His continual quest: 'trying to bring the guitar and my
music to the next level, without effects, electronics, etc.' On his new
CD Quick Response Dom's fingers and mind are astonishing agile. It's
adventurous music, but always keenly focused, and lyrical. His (very)
interactive colleagues are saxophonist Mark Whitecage, drummer John
Bollinger and organist Kyle Koehler.
Wed.: Nadya Golski was born in Tasmania to an Australian mother and a
Polish-Russian father. She grew up in Melbourne, Canberra and Papua New
Guinea and went to Poland when she was 19 to work in a theatre company
that travelled by horse and cart from village to village. This time in
Europe inspired her to sing Balkan music, which is well represented on
her new album ‘Crazy Moon’ – recorded with the 101 Candles Orkestra, an
all-star group of Sydney musicians including Jonathan Zwartz, Chad
Wackerman and Rick Falkiner. The album also delves into French and
Spanish language originals when it’s not taking you on a wild Balkan
ride.
Thu.: The artist known as Bonga (which means 'he who searches' or 'he
who goes ahead') has one of Africa’s more beautiful voices. For many
years he’s been Angola’s most popular songster at home and abroad. You
can dance to his new CD Kaxexe, enjoy its affinities with Portugese
fado and Brazilian samba, or simply revel in the husky warmth of
Bonga’s voice. But it’s worth paying attention to his words: the former
exile from Portuguese colonialists has long been outspoken against
'independent' Angola’s corrupt, warring factions. At the core of his
songs is a passionate conviction that 'we must live without harming
others'.
Fri.: ‘Lagrimas Negras’ is a unique album – a collaboration between
octogenarian Cuban pianist Bebo Valdes and flamenco singer Diego el
Cigala. The repertoire is of boleros, the slow standards that Cuban and
other Spanish language singers love to croon, but Diego el Cigala
brings such a flamenco ferocity to these pieces that he transforms
them. Spaniard Javier Colina plays bass on the entire album and alto
saxophonist Paquito D’Rivero and violinist Federico Britos make guest
appearances.

Hamilton has led a full and busy life. In the 1960s he lived with his
wife (an anthropologist) and their two small children in Central

ASIA PACIFIC - current events in the Asia Pacific region. [T;%]
2330 -
Mon.: THE EUROPEANS - broader historical and cultural perspectives on
European societies with Keri Phillips. This week: "Lisbon - Tagus River
Dreaming". This is a port city with a long pedigree, dating back beyond
the Romans, to the Phoenecians, Greeks and Carthaginians. You can still
see the effects of 400 years of Moorish rule, even though the Alfama,
the old town, had to be rebuilt after the earthquake of 1755. The
elegant tower, from which the explorers of the Age of Discovery in the
fifteenth century were farewelled, still stands on the river at Belem.
Sadly, the Industrial Revolution passed Lisbon by, as the city endured
decades of military insurrection, political chaos and dictatorship. And
since the end of the Salazar regime in the mid-seventies, urban
development has largely happened without the benefit of planning. [%]
Tue.: RURAL REPORTER - the people and places that make up country
Australia.
Wed.: THE ARTS ON RA - Julie Copeland interviews artists, composers
and craftspeople and Julie Rigg looks at the movies.
<http://www.abc.net.au/rn/arts/sunmorn/> for details concerning
possible segments carried in this program, as the program is an
abridged version of the "Sunday Morning" program that is broadcast on
ABC Radio National. [%]
Thu.: THE BUZZ - technology understandably explained with Richard
Aedy. This week: "Biotech Carnival". Horseracing is a worldwide,
multi-billion dollar industry. When the animals become injured the
costs can skyrocket. However, now a horse's own stem cells can be used
to repair tendon and cartilage injuries, drastically speeding recovery.

Fri.: HIT MIX* - presented by Brendon Telfer. Find out what we're
listening to in Australia and what we're giving to the world in our
