Plus: we welcome author and Eurovision expert Chris West to talk about the Eastern Bloc and talk to our Belgrade correspondent Guy de Launey about Serbia’s history at the event.

Tony Benn interview

The music of Mali 

The music of Mali, like most African nations, is diverse, but its cultural importance spans far beyond its entertainment value. When armed militants imposed a ban on music in 2012, for 10 months musicians were forced to the front line. Monocle brings this special report on Malian music to assess the significance it has to its people.
