Music that made waves on Dispatches over the past year: from South Africa, where an ode to a war hero revives racial tensions; from Mexico, where drug barons are celebrated in song and a sub-culture is hard to quell; Afrobeat poet and psychiatrist Ikwunga Wonodi has a musical message and a mission in Nigeria; and from the south of Italy, the story of one man's quest to uncover the work of composers once held in Nazi prison camps: "concentrationary music" you can also call haunting.
