Spin the Globe: Live Locally, Groove Globally
Fridays 10-noon (Pacific) on KAOS 89.3 FM Olympia, and streaming live
==============================
So I did get to Seattle for the opening night of the touring Broadway show
Fela! -- and while not without flaws, it's still a fantastic way to spend an evening. You can read my thoughts on the show here: http://www.soundroots.org/2013/05/fantastic-frustrating-fela.html
This week, STG airs the first of a series of programs
highlighting the world-music sounds
of different decades. The 1980s were when I really began discovering
global sounds, so you’ll hear some of my early favorites plus many 80s
artists & songs I’ve discovered since.
Questions, comments, kudos, requests, and complaints welcome. Leave a Facebook message (link below), or call during the show at
360-867-5267 (that's 360-867-KAOS).
You can follow STG playlists live
during the show, or access them later and find out what was playing at a
specific time via the (mostly accurate) Spinitron time stamp:

Upcoming Shows: May 31: Global Music of the 1980s
June 7: Caribbean Sounds
June 14: Dances of the World
June 21: Honk! A Celebration of Global Horns
See you on the airwaves!
