Episode #12 with host Derrik Jordan. Derrik gives a little insight into his composing process and we get to hear three of his world fusion pieces that were inspired by African and Balinese music: Fulani Bounce, Baka Bachianas and Five Gamelans for Brass Quintet. He reveals his favorite pentatonic scales from around the world. Music performed by The Kyōdai Brass Quintet, Erik Lawrence, Elsa Nilsson, Massamba Diop, Barou Sall and Sarra Ba (on Fula flute).

The video for Baka Bachianas (for flute choir) which shows the Baka (aka Pygmy) culture is by Cameroonian singer and dancer Georgette Adjie Beighle who is currently raising money to help the Baka people in Cameroon purchase their own land.
