Hope we didn’t get you into trouble, dancing away those few hours you were supposed to be working on this last day of 2010. It was a global dance party of epic proportions (or at least epic volume) on Spin The Globe. Happy New Year to all global music fans far and wide, and say hello to 2011.

Happy New Year!

In April, it was the volcano in Iceland. In May, we observed the 30th anniversary of our own Mount Saint Helens (KAOS was within the ashfall radius of that one!). So on this day in June, Spin The Globe played music from some of the most volcanically active spots on earth. Plus some new releases, a tribute to Busi Mhlango (who passed on a few days ago), and some musical inspiration for Algeria, who ran with it and held England goalless in a remarkable (if lackluster) result today.

True, Spin The Globe is inherently a celebration of diversity. This show goes the extra mile, highlighting multicultural groups and songs that promote diversity and understanding. Today is, after all. the United Nations World Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, a day “to deepen our understanding of the values of cultural diversity and to learn to ‘live together’ better”.
