Program September 28, 2016

I love reggae harmony vocal groups, and you'll hear a bunch of them on this week's program: a new track from The Frightnrs, classics from the Mighty Diamonds, the Congos and more.  I also have some British folk-rock cued up for you.

Caroline, a new WRIR world music trainee, will be my guest co-host.  She's going to impress you with the two sets she's selected: an African one that ranges from Kenya to Senegal, and one from the Middle East with a bunch of artists new to me, plus Omar Souleyman.  Caroline and I are both big Omar Souleyman fans, but we're not in the same league as the two guys pictured above.
