From: PRX Presents The Global Village Series with Chris Heim
Produced by KMUH 89.1 Wichita, KS
An eclectic, world music-based show, Global Village features the latest and best in world music new releases and classics along with a wide variety of artists and selections from other genres that have influences from around the world. Informative and entertaining, current yet set in a wider musical and historical context, the show draws on the knowledge, experience and congenial personality of host Chris Heim – and a library of over 35,000 albums, including many out-of-print titles – to pull these musical strands together into an intriguing and captivating whole. As Duke Ellington famously said, there are two kinds of music. Global Village plays the good kind… from all over the world.
Global Village continues its May British folk-rock feature with an early classic from Sandy Denny & the Strawbs, plus the new Jolly Boys’ mento covers of pop hits, Bobby Sanabria’s tribute to Latin music great Tito Puente, a back to the roots set from Fela’s son Femi Kuti, and St. Lucia’s Taj Weekes.
