TONIGHT: A tribute to Odetta
Join me on FM88.5 (Edmonton) and www.cjsr.com (worldwide) tonight at 8 until 10 pm Mountain time for a tribute to the late, great Odetta . How sad, as 2008 closes out, that we've lost two giants of folk and social justice music... Odetta and Zenzi Miriam Makeba. We'll also hear from: Ethiopia's Gigi Morocco's Mariem Hassan Cameroon's Manu Dibango Nigeria's King Sunny Ade Algeria's Nediha Gaouria, Mara + Jalal and Ahlam Somali-Canada's K’Naan and Li-One Democratic Republic of Congo's Zap Mama Mali's Ali Farka Touré Afrikamerica's Jeru the Damaja, Chuck D., DJ Spooky, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Common, Erykah Badu, Eddie Holman and Archie Shepp
