This week’s journey begins deep in the heart of Africa, where rhythms pulse through the soil and music tells the stories of generations. From traditional beats to contemporary sounds, Davy shines a light on the vibrant music scene of Zimbabwe — a country rich in culture, spirit, and song.

But the trip doesn’t stop there. Davy then takes us southward across the seas to the lush landscapes of New Zealand. There, he uncovers a nostalgic gem from the beloved Kiwi animated film Footrot Flats: The Dog’s Tale. It's a trip down memory lane as he rediscovers the chart-topping anthem Slice of Heaven by Dave Dobbyn and Herbs — a song that captured hearts across the world and still brings a smile today.

This week on Around the World with Davy Sims, we dive deep into the vibrant and evolving sounds of South America. The spotlight is on ASTROPICAL, a collaborative album from Colombian electro-cumbia legends Bomba Estéreo and Venezuelan genre-benders Rawayana—a fusion that’s as bold and colourful as the continent itself.

From the hypnotic grooves of Brazil and the raw soul of Peru and Ecuador to the rich rhythms of Africa—including sounds from Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, KwaZulu-Natal, Mali, Senegal, and Zimbabwe—this episode pulses with life.

But that’s not all. Davy takes us further still, with stirring music from Bosnia, Corsica, Finland, India, Ireland, Italy, North Macedonia, Serbia, Slovenia, and Spain.

Tune in for a musical passport stamped with rhythm, culture, and discovery. There are no borders here—just beats from all corners of the globe.
