Program September 9, 2015

Cabo Verde is a nation of 500,000 people (with a disapora of equal size) where it seems like every fifth person is a musician.  You'll hear three of those musicians, all women, on this week's program.  That includes Lura (pictured above), whose wonderful new album will be released on October 16.

Also this week: the sound of the balafon; ska, rocksteady and Afro-reggae; and the new wave of indie-salsa.
