World on Your Street, although not actively maintained since 2005, is one answer to uncovering different sounds in world music. Find interviews with musicians who brought their music to the UK from many different parts of the globe. Listen to tracks produced by professional musicians as well as to songs sung by mothers to their children. Try out drumming and singing techniques via the site's percussion and vocal workshops. Or stream archive segments from the hour-long radio program that once showcased the music of the UK's diverse Asian, African, and Caribbean communities.
