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:
Algerian rock from Sidi Bémol and Korean psychedelic folk rock from 고래야 Coreyah
New Mongolian music from Khusugtun Ethnic Band – Хөсөгтөн хамтлаг
The latest from Afel Bocoum, Malian guitarist and former member of Ali Farke Toure’s band
And with Hispanic Heritage Month underway later in September, Global Village highlights new Latin jazz from JOSE RIZO’S MONGORAMA, the UK’s Charanga del Norte, the John Santos and The John Santos Sextet; and contemporary sounds from the multi-national Ladama lineup, the reunited Los Mocosos, and the first Spanish-language album from the The Mavericks
