Studded with delicious nuggets and surprises, and steamed to perfection, Nordorama is back for another lap around the highways and byways of the Nordics. This week's playlist features a collaboration between Ane Brun and José González, jazz poetry in ancient Latin and some Swedish rock as suggested by listeners. The icing on this week's audiocake comes in the form of a track recorded on instruments made of ice in a soundproof igloo.

STRUT YOUR FUNKY STUFF, MADERA

A very special edition of the SMS show featuring head honcho of Strut Records QUINTON SCOTT talking about his wonderful label, how it came to be and flourished. Dragging world music kicking and screaming onto the cool dancefloors of Europe since the late 90s with excellent club crew collaborations & compilations (SOUL 2 SOUL, HORSEMEAT DISCO, GOOD TIMES, SOFRITO) and now signing artists direct from Africa and beyond (EBO TAYLOR, FANGWANA), STRUT has never ceased to push the envelope. One of a handful of small UK labels keeping the faith, Strut we salute you!

On April 26, former Liberian President Charles Taylor was convicted by the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone on 11 counts of war crimes, crimes against humanity and violations of international law for aiding and abetting rebels from 1996-2002 in Sierra Leone’s 11-year civil war. Immediately after the verdict, announced on the eve of Sierra Leone's 51st Independence Day, emotions ranged from excitement to disappointment, showing the complexity of the case.

HOME SPUN AND HAND KNITTED

MADERA meets podcast king, dj, and all round legend CRASH & BURN. They talk about growing up deep in the Amazon (in C & Bs case), a shared love of un-PC Exotica & obscure vinyl 45s, and why a Fela Kuti track can be a lifesaver during a long DJ set (in MADERA's case)...

This week Cal plays an exclusive acoustic track from Wara lead singer Juanita Euka, new Cumbia from Chicha Libre, Frente Cumbiero and DJ Negro, Brazilian music from Criolo, Os Magrelos and Maga Bo, more heavy Salsa from La Excelencia, a Colombian Hip Hop reworking of a track from the last Sergent Garcia album plus look out online for the new videos for tracks played here by conscious voices Bituaya and Ana Tijoux.

Plus he's are joined in the studio by documentary filmmaker Mikey Watts to talk about his latest film made for Al Jazeera's Power and the People series 'Undermining Justice' about corporate accountability - specifically in the northern region of Peru where communities have an ongoing battle with mining companies.

Like everything in life the Caipirinha Appreciation Society show also appears to come in cycles. A couple of specific themed episodes are usually followed by a couple of random ones. Of course, the only constant being our selection of Brazilian music beyond the clichés, winter, spring, summer or fall.

Harvey's joined in the studio by guest DJ and Icelandophile, FURR. They share Icelandic music! They share stories about Iceland! You want to listen! It all works out quite well really. With music from some of the big hitters of the country, a track from FURR's upcoming EP, plus some rather Gothic folk and 60s rock.

DON'T MENTION THE "O" WORD
Like some malevolent Dickensian fog, a siege mentality is engulfing London. With only 100 days til the Oly***cs, public service announcements scream from the sides of busses and taxis at the panicking masses: go shopping at night, avoid all eye contact, stock up on batteries and fresh water, brace, brace. Enough already says MADERA, inviting like minded Londoners to radically change their usual travel patterns and come along to Croatia for the STOP MAKING SENSE FESTIVAL instead.
