This week (Sunday June 18, 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) on Global A Go-Go, we'll spend most of our two hours in south-eastern Europe. You'll hear the "wedding music" of Macedonian saxophonist Ferus Mustafov, who passed away on May 22, and of Bulgarian clarinestist Ivo Papasov, who's still very much with us.
And we'll cover almost the whole region: music from Romania (Fanfare Ciocărlia), Moldova (Zdob și Zdub, pictured above), Serbia (Šaban Bajramović), Montenegro (Ansambl Montenegro, natch), Bosnia & Herzegovina (Goran Bregović), Turkey (Altın Gün) and more, if you can believe that.
And not from south-eastern Europe: This week is the 75th anniversary of the landing of the HMT Empire Windrush in the Port of Tilbury, carrying 693 Caribbean British subjects who intended to resettle in the United Kingdom. The Windrush's arrival marked the beginning of the mass migration of people of color from the outskirts of the British Empire to its center, an event that would reshape Great Britain. We commemorate the occasion with a set of songs by and about the Windrush generation.
