From England to Turkmenistan, Zaire, the States and back

We take you travelling on rootsandshoots and trust you enjoy the journey and arrive safely back home. It is difficult at times telling where you are, of course. For instance, Adje Jano which we played today features Polish band Kroke playing a Macedonian dance tune/song along with England's Nigel Kennedy and singer Natasha Atlas from Belgium whose ancestry, according to Wikepedia, is disputed:
"It is known that she has a British mother that converted to Islam but the origins of her father remain unclear. Some sources quote her as claiming he has Moroccan, Egyptian and Palestinian ancestry."
Let's not delve any further!
