Music is not a luxury item. Every society, every culture in human history has had music as an integral component. Music has evolved with language many many thousands of years ago and it is an essential part of being human. Humanity is no more able to survive without music than without language (including sign or other non-verbal language). Here, on CKCU and particularly on my program, we explore what it means to be human with music from all over the world and historical periods--musical threads which connect cultures and people and expose the common experience of life we all share.
There is no CKCU without you! All I want to do is share the amazing universe of music with you, please help me continue with your donations!
Music from Brazil, Cameroon, Bosnia, Zimbabwe, Baroque Italy, northern India, Madagascar, Estonia, Jewish hymns and more...
