Global Funk + Yasmin Levy interview: Spin The Globe playlist 6 November 2009
It's a funky world, and this week's show highlighted some of the best, from Congo to Bombay to Nigeria and beyond. Plus an interview with Israeli singer Yasmin Levy, who is on tour (and performs at Seattle's Triple Door on Nov. 9). Sorry -- due to technical problems, no podcast of this show is available.Global Funk + Yasmin Levy int

And the next US Minister of Culture is...?
Trick question. Despite a renewal of the discussion among some global music advocate friends of mine since Obama was elected a year ago, there is no Minister of Culture or Secretary of Culture in the United States. Some think that's probably a good thing, given the dramatic political shifts that can occur from one administration to the next. On the other hand, having a high-level official whose job it is to promote the positive aspects of USA culture could go a long way toward improving global attitudes about the US at a time when we're still at war in two foreign nations (if you don't count Pakistan...). And it could help reinforce the value of arts education and participation

Kitka: Cradle Songs for All Ages
CD REVIEWKitka: Cradle Songs (Diaphonica)I'm in the car, driving west into -- I kid you not -- the sunset. Above me a sky with breathtaking swooshes of scarlet and orange, on the stereo otherworldly vocal harmonies that seem to transport me to another time and place. I pull over to watch and listen. Perhaps somewhere in rural Russia a mother is humming this same song to a child, for while the tune opens the new album by Oak
