About the Show
It’s New Month/New Music time in the Global Village. Each month, Global Village devotes an entire show to the best of recently released and forthcoming world music albums. Among the highlights this time: Balkan sounds from elsewhere from Stockholm’s Lele Lele Orchestra and Toronto’s Lemon Bucket Orchestra; new Euro sounds from the pan-Scandinavian ensemble Viik, and Spanish folk ensemble Viguela; samba-inspired music from prolific guitarist Diego Figueiredo; mambo classic and contemporary from Orquesta Akokan, Jonathan Powell, and Sergio Pamies’ and blasts from the past with the Togo Soul 2 compilation, and a 50th anniversary special reissue of War’s classic album, The World is a Ghetto.
