Red Bull Music Academy presents Wandering Feet podcast

James Pants (Stone’s Throw), Chas Jankel (The Blockheads) and Fatima feature this month.

Download the Wandering Feet Podcast and join music journalist, and Red Bull Music Academy team member, Emma Warren, for her take on new music, collaboration and emerging talent with a special UK focus. In the latest episode Emma is joined in the Wandering Feet studio by emerging vocalist Fatima who popped by to talk about jamming with Sly and Robbie and to give us an exclusive preview of some of the new tracks she’s been working on. The Wandering Feet podcast is all about sharing musical knowledge, and in keeping with our tradition of hearing from true masters and pioneers, we touch base with Chas Jankel of The Blockheads who fills us in on the story behind ‘Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick’. We’ll be also digging in the Wandering Feet vaults for some words of wisdom from Stones Throw’s newest one man band: James Pants, recorded at a recent Red Bull Music Academy lecture in Barcelona. And of course, there’s plenty of music, with a brand new track from the incredible collaboration between Mulatu and The Heliocentrics, plus a very special live track from Micachu and the Shapes.
