How to identify the music used to close today's 15 Nov. program The Strand on BBC World Service. I've searched the BBC Website(s) but failed to find it.

I've just been on the iPlayer and the latest episode of The Strand available there ends with the Creole Choir of Cuba.

I'll have a listen once it becomes available on the iPlayer.

Sounds like you might have the answer from sleepcrime, but if not, as a last resort you could try tweeting the World Service and see if there's anyone who can help. Strange that there's no email address on their website, I thought the BBC was mad about getting listeners to get in touch at every possible opportunity.

I've been to the iPlayer and do not find 15 Nov. (Monday) episode of The Strand. Where did you find it?

From this page, which lists World Service programmes broadcast today, I guessed that the programme you heard was actually the episode from 12 Nov (which was repeated today at 3.32am and 9.32am). There is a 15 Nov episode coming up, but according to that page it hasn't been broadcast yet.
