Hosted by Dennis Darrah.

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. From WGDR, Goddard College Plainfield, VT. wgdr.org/. This week: We showcase a sampling of the traditional and ritual music found in various parts of West Africa. Music that pre-dates the division of Africa into nation states by the European Colonial powers.
