What's Coming Up? Plan ahead, look back
On the 279th edition of RootsWorld Radio, we'll feature some of the final recordings by Malian vocal giant Salif Keita. We'll hear a Czech dream song, some deep jazz through the lens of folk traditions from Gambia and Trinidad. There will be semi-classical tango. And we'll feature Hatitian-American, New York bred and New Orleans resident Leyla McCalla (My pick of the month). Other artists on the show include Ponk, Dawda Jobarteh, Etienne Charles, Pablo Aslan, and Bassekou Kouyate. On RootsWorld Radio 278, features a special presentation from a collective of musicians in Rotterdam called "Music Through The Walls." We'll hear klezmer of a more political nature, roots new and old from Ethiopia, Ghana and Mali; a collaboration of artists from Mongolia and Poland; contemporary roots from Bulgaria; mandolin from Italy and Arabic classical music. Artists on the show: Kërkim, Dawda Jobarteh, Urna & Kroke, The Dur Dur Band, Hama Sankare, Doctor Professor Atamina, Ayuune Sule, Mimmo Epifani, Belonoga, Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird, and The Ayn Trio.
RootsWorld Radio #276 and #277 feature some of our favorite songs from 2018

'Tis the season for best of lists, but I honestly dislike these ranked listings of limted numbers and more limted value. So much great music passes through our door every year, and in the magazine and on the radio, I try to sort it out as best as I can, with the help of a very dedicated grouop of volunteer writers. So this year, with the input of some of our writers, I am presenting a series of radio shows picking out some of our favorite songs from the last year. The following playlists are the songs we choose for their strength and beauty. They are not ranked, simply presented in a mostly uninterrupted hour of music. I hope you enjoy them as much as we have. - CF
