Program June 22, 2012

BALKANIZE!, who played live on Global A Go-Go last year (pictured above) have just released a brand-new album; you'll hear a track from it this week on Global A Go-Go.  Ditto for the Richmanian Ramblers, another RVA band playing Eastern European music who have a new record.  Welcome to Richmond, center of the Balkan music universe.

Also this week: what's new in the world of world music is -- Afrofunk; the flute-and-fiddle charanga sound; Mighty Sparrow gives the Michigan House of Representatives a vocabulary lesson; and as always, much more.
