The Founders of Indian Disco

The BBC program Witness History is a daily 9-minute radio segment that explores modern history through biography by providing interviews with people who were part of important events.

The librarians at BBC have listed a few dozen stories on a page labeled World Music, part of the BBC Sounds page.
