Program July 20, 2016

Miramar, the old-fashioned bolero combo led by Marlysse Simmons, Rei Alvarez and Laura Ann Singh (pictured above in their home away from home, Kuba Kuba, photo by Chris Smith) is Richmond's latest buzz band.

Their debut album, Dedication To Sylvia Rexach, was released on June 17 and just hit #3 on CMJ's New World chart; they were featured on NPR's "All Things Considered" and on CNN en Espanol; they finished a six-city tour in support of the album; and they're about to play NYC's Lincoln Center Out Of Doors on a bill with Puerto Rican superstars Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz.

They'd probably like to take a nap.  But instead they'll be joining me this week on Global A Go-Go to talk about the album, the whirlwind of activity around it, and all their new and old projects.  We'll play some Miramar music and some other stuff as well.

Also this week: fabulous new music from Greece by Kristi Stassinopoulou and Stathis Kalyviotis, and the ultra-danceable sounds of Haiti.
