If you like what you hear (or even if you don't) I encourage you to browse the music selection at your own local library.  You might be surprised by what you find!

Here's what I found:

1. Lollipop - The Chordettes
2. Cumbanchero - Rubén González
3. Tchimurenga Zimbabwe - Sam Mangwana
4. Drive it Home - Snooks Eaglin
5. Marimba Song - Amampondo

Radio Show 11-15-12

Officially, this is my fifth radio session.  However, the show I did at the beginning of November seems lost -- or at least forever hidden by the station's recording robots -- so I'll call this episode number four.  At any rate, it's a fun one...we travel from the U.K. to North Africa to Brooklyn, then down to Brasil and back to Brooklyn, only to return eastward toward Turkey and Italy.  And that's all before the mid-show voice break.  We also hit up Albuquerque, Philly, Senegal, Mali, Nigeria and Sudan (via Brooklyn, of course).  As always, PSAs are edited out, and the tracklist follows:

1. Short Change Hero - The Heavy
2. Aal Eah - Samira Saeid
3. How Long Do I Have To Wait For You? - Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
4. Quer Queira, Quer Nao Queira - Tim Maia
5. It Ain't Nothing Like - Amerigo Gazaway (Feat. Kriminul)
6. Karni Buyuk Koca Dunya - OnDER Bali
7. Grigio Perla - Gian Franco Pienzio
8. West - Wagogo
9. Diarr Diarr - Youssou N'Dour
10. Jeeper Creeper - Sinkane
11. Chérie - Amadou & Mariam
12. Take Time - Orchestre Tumba Africa International
13. Upper Egypt - The Roots
14. Okra - Olu Dara
