Program September 13, 2013

I'll be joined this week by a special guest co-host: Geoff Bennett Speer (on the left above, don't you know), currently in the band The Eastern Question and formerly of the late, lamented BALKANIZE!, has selected all the music for this week's program, and he'll be in the studio with me to tell you all about it.

Geoff's a devotee (and player) of all sorts of music from Turkey, Greece, the Balkans and Eastern Europe, and he'll provide an amazingly broad perspective on the region's sounds.  He's queued up everything from Bulgarian polyphony and the songs of Roma bear-handlers (not kidding) to jazz, electronica and punk rock.  Join Geoff and me for a wild Balkan excursion, this week on Global A Go-Go.
