UPCOMING SHOWS:
July 30: Mali Music
More than a few Spin The Globe listeners & callers have recently gushed about their love of Malian music. Something there is about the small West African nation, which has produced an astounding array of artists including Oumou Sangare, Ali Farka Toure (and son Vieux), Amadou y Mariam, Tinariwen, Toumani Diabate…the list seems endless. We’ll hear an array of Malian music, plus a few other sounds in the 2nd hour.
August 6: Music of Deserts
Music from some of the nations and cultures living in and around the planet’s largest deserts. And you might just learn a bit more about deserts during the show, and find that they’re not all hot, and they’re not all sand.
August 13: Pacific Islands
With pan-Polynesian group Te Vaka coming to town next week, we’ll take a musical tour of their home base, New Zealand, as well as other song-saturated Pacific Islands.
