Davy Sims is back behind the mic, ready to take you on another epic musical adventure across continents and cultures. This week on Around the World, Davy travels through some of our favourite global hot spots—soak in the rhythms of Brazil, the soul of Cuba, the groove of Mali, and the rich traditions of Portugal and Senegal.

But that’s just the beginning. You’ll also hear captivating sounds from Türkiye, Ukraine, Cape Verde, Catalonia, Georgia, Greece, India, Tunisia, and the island of Réunion—each bringing its own flavour and story to the global mix.

The featured album this week is Ilmateade from Estonia’s Duo Ruut, a stunning and innovative release that redefines what’s possible with minimal instrumentation and maximum creativity.

Tune in for a truly global listening experience with Davy Sims—where borders blur and music unites.
