The conventional wisdom is that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. With that in mind, we’ll revisit two programs from an earlier time of uncertainty, when traveling was difficult amid world and family situations. We can become armchair travelers and enjoy a grand variety of World music from all corners of the globe. In the first installment, we’ll hear from the Finnish band Frigg, The Russian group The Terem Quartet, The Battlefield Band from Scotland, Itzhak Perlman and the Andy Statman Klezmer Orchestra and many more. Find a comfy chair and travel the world with some great music … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
