Whither World Music?

« previous episode | next episode »

Friday, December 02, 2005

As of this weekend, Satalla, which billed itself as New York's only club devoted to world music, will be closing its doors. We speak with Satalla's music director Steve Lurie, and world music journalist Anastasia Tsioulcas about the future of world music in New York. And the original Latin pop star, Jose Feliciano, joins us on the show. He became fanmous in the 60s with his covers of the National Anthem and the Doors' "Light My Fire," and he's releasing his first-ever recording of instrumental music, inspired by the music of Andres Segovia. He'll perform live in the studio. And, the hidden treasures buried in recent record re-issues from the 1930s, 40s and 50s.
