A musical smorgasbord awaits you on Backbeat this week; cultures, styles and languages all mixed up to create an audio delight. We've got French Hawaiian, Creole Dixieland and African jive mixed in with blues from Roosevelt Sykes, doo wop born on a Brooklyn Street corner, jazzy blues from the under-appreciated Una Mae Carlisle and some lively 1950s and '60s hits. Just what you've come to expect.
