"TOTEM #1- Dance Meditation special" Autumn '15 Feat. Christian De Sousa and Sian Sullivan

Badger Radio

Autumn '15 TOTEM with Freddy Drabble is now available to download and to listen to on Soundcloud, perfect for in the car or on the tube. Apart from spanking tunes, this first show features interviews with one of London's favourite 5 Rhythms facilitators Christian De Sousa and african trance dance anthropologist Sian Sullivan, as we explore the reasons why dance meditation is getting so popular and whether this connects with the tradition of the healing Trance Dances of indigenous peoples. TOTEM is the show that brings you the best dancing music on the planet both new and old. It's also the show that, with the help of our magical Badger Totem, aims to get to the bottom of the mysteries of the human soul and to access the infinite joy and abundance we believe it is our earth born rite and responsibility to enjoy! TOTEM will come out every Spring and Autumn. Bands and producers please send us your assets if you want them broadcast and we'll try and squeeze them in! TRACK LIST: Mikkim - Downtown Advice (feat.
