This week: Music from the big band Bixiga 70 out of Brazil. Drawing on indigenous and Afro-Brazilian traditions they create a unique music similar to what Fela Kuti did for Nigeria.
Music from around the world is featured. Bringing the audience into the realm of other cultures through music, hopefully expanding empathy for the “other”, and recognizing that “other” in ourselves.
