This week on the program we continue our musical explorations with World Mix. We’ll hear a fascinating blend of tunes – recordings from Finland, Japan, Tibet, the Balkans, Mexico, Quebec, Brazil and beyond. We’ll feature the first World Music star, Tito Puente, the angelic sound of Kardemimmt from Finland, Norteno music from Los Texmaniacs, and the melding of Chinese and Latin music from Wu Man & Son de San Diego. Expand your musical horizons … this week on The Sing Out! Radio Magazine.
