UPCOMING SHOWS:Spin The Globe poster 2011

Feb. 3: Global Cafe Music
We’ll hear selections from some global “cafe” compilations, as well as a few other selections often heard in the Spin The Globe Cafe (the cafe in my mind…). Plus some new releases and concert previews in hour 2.

Feb. 10: Hungary Meets Iraq
Our first ping-ponging show of the year, with Hungary and Iraq stepping up to the (turn)table with musical paddles in hand. Will the sounds blend, clash, harmonize, compete? Tune in to find out.

Feb. 17: Carnaval!
We may be starting to see the hints of spring here in the north, but in Brazil it’s time for a full-on sweaty summer street party. Our Carnaval on the air will feature music from Brazil, Trinidad, New Orleans, and wherever else Carnival/Carnaval is heard.

Feb. 24: World Music Top 10, Feb. edition
A dive into new releases, and an early check into what 2012 might sound like. Check out the latest Spin The Globe Top 10 chart.

Feb. 24: African Women
With Miriam Makeba’s birthday and UN International Women’s Day in the same week, what better than to celebrate the songs of African women? Miriam, Angelique, Gigi, Aster, Malouma, Zolani, and many more are likely to make an appearance. Requests welcome!
