Global A Go-Go Classico: Ukraine with Vlad Cuiujuclu

I’m coming to you from my home studio since I’m currently laying low with a virus.  Rather than coming in to Studio A this week and infecting everyone in my path, I stayed home and dug into the vaults for a Classico edition of Global A Go-Go.
 
The last time I did a Classico program, it was a show I co-hosted with Vlad Cuiujuclu for the independence day of Moldova, the country where Vlad was born.  Today I’m presenting another one of Vlad’s co-productions, this one going back to August 29, 2014.
 
That was the month when Russia sent troops, tanks and artillery into eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.  Arguably this was the precursor of Russia’s full scale invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022, a war that continues today.
 
And that’s the backdrop for the show Vlad and I did about the music of Ukraine, which is as timely now as it’s ever been.  I hope you enjoy this week (Sunday April 16, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site)’s presentation of Global A Go-Go.
