Spin the Globe: Live Locally, Groove Globally
Fridays 10-noon (Pacific) on KAOS 89.3 FM Olympia, and streaming live
==============================
Music from a nation in
turmoil. A hijacked rebellion now finds the rebels turning against their
former Islamist allies as the latter try to ban music, culture,
tolerance, fun, and other things that have always made Mali, Mali. For
clearer and more detailed explanations of the conflict, see this or
this. STG will be celebrating the music of Malian musicians,
particularly those from the North, currently the location of much of the
strife. Musicians are among those calling for an end to the violence,
as in the video “Voices United for Mali” spearheaded by Fatoumata
Diawara. And we’ll talk about the conditions in Mali with Aja Salvatore
of Kanega System Krush Records, who recently spent some time in the west
African nation.
Questions, comments, kudos, and complaints welcome. Leave a Facebook message (link below), or call during the show at
