From Congo to Sweden, from the UK to Ethiopia, via Portugal and the United States, this year's Transmission programme takes a trip around the world to portray music in its most diverse contexts. Whether as the result of creative - and romantic - marriages or as a cry for freedom and sexual insubmission. As a political gesture, or as a political tool. As a treasure preserved by a passionate collector, or as the result of the purest experimentation and unique and unpredictable creative processes. Through recordings on stage or in the studio, using rare archive material or unpublished interviews, the 11 films seek to tell new stories from music.
