The music they play draws on ideas from Carnatic music, Hindustani music and jazz. In Sandy's words "In many ways our vocabularies differ. However, a love of rhythmic vibrancy; subtle and ecstatic moods; and the spontaneity of improvised music unites us. Sandy Evans performed alongside tabla player Maharshi Raval, Sitar player and vocalist Sarangan Sriranganathan, and double bassist Brett Hirst at the Adelaide Festival Centre's OzAsia Festival in September, and Music Deli was there to catch the performance. The Music Show With Andrew Ford Saturday 10am Repeated: Sunday 2am http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/musicshow/ James Crabb is renowned both for his versatility as a musician and for the diversity of repertoire he plays. Contemporary composers like Sofia Gubaidulina, Luciano Berio, Magnus Lindberg and very recently Australian Peter McNamara have have written specially for James Crabb's accordion. So what does this say about charms and challenges of classical music and this original oom-pah folk instrument? Composer and author Kyle Gann reveals all about the maverick American composer Conlan Nancarrow and his obsession with the player piano and ex-pat Australian composer Cathy Milliken discusses The Romeo and Juliet Project which hooks up the Massive Hip Hop Choir with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. Also on the show, the happy sad songs of Gregory Page.

Not bad for a low-key evangelical album. As well, Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens bring church to a classic Stones' song, there's blues-gospel singer & slide guitarist Kelly Joe Phelps whose latest album draws on the Book of Jonah, and a former Midnight Oiland a former Violent Femme who get together on stage for the world's favourite hymn. And in a preview of next week, we hear a new song from singer-songwriter Heather Frahn, founder of the Conscious Music Movement. Sound Quality With Tim Ritchie Friday 11:20pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/soundquality/ From folk to noise to hi-tech - it's all in here. Perfect little capsules of marvellous sounds. Diversity, quality and plenty of aural drama - nothing thematic to hold it all together apart from the great music. The Weekend Planet With Doug Spencer Saturday 10pm and Sunday 10pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/weekendplanet/ On Saturday - Anda Union - 'The Wind Horse' A delicious Mongolian combination of serious intent, brilliant musicianship and manifest joy. Anda Union's very existence is a new phenomenon in Inner Mongolia, albeit one which represents a 'return to Mongolian roots.'

Feature producer Robyn Ravlich travelled to Mexico City and to Oaxaca where indigenous traditions lie close to the surface to experience and record this powerful and beautiful life-affirming festival, which melds ancient Amerindian rituals for welcoming back the dead for one joyful day a year with the Catholic observances of All Saints Day and All Souls Day.
