Puerto Plata – his real name is José Manuel CoblesNew Artists Shaping World Music
Two major World Music festivals taking place in New York this weekend show how far global sounds are traveling. Today, we find out how a younger generation of performers is creating hybrid works using styles from around the globe. We also find out how older artists are showing why they're hip once again. Joining us are four guests: veteran Algerian DJ Cheb-i-Sabbah, radio host Banning Eyre, young composer-drummer Lukas Ligeti, and 84-year-old Dominican musician Puerto Plata.
Global Crossings
With two world world music festivals in New York this weekend - the fifth annual GlobalFest and inaugural Mondo Music Festival - it's a perfect opportunity to look at the evolving definition of that genre. Joining us are three guests: Banning Eyre, the senior editor of Afropop.org; Cheb i Sabbah, an Algerian DJ; and Lukas Ligeti, a composer and drummer in the band Burkina Electric.
