Glorious African music that funks so hard from Burkino Faso, Ethiopia, Somalia. Ecstasy and rapture from Alexander Scriabin; Constantinople Ensemble and Savina Yannatou in concert and more.
Starting off today's show with a few tracks from Analog Africa's glorious compilation "Bambara Mystic Soul" with music from 1974-1979 in Burkino Faso. It's hard not to think of golden ages when listening to this music!
We will also hear music from Montreal's Constantinople and Greek singer Savina Yannatou. They are on tour together in a program entitled "Praises To the Sea" and are performing tomorrow night in Ottawa!

| I have been listening to Scriabin almost obsessively the past week, I am not sure why, other than I love his music. We will hear two pieces composed around 1907, both heights of his ecstatic and mystical music. His 5th piano sonata and "Le poème de l'extase". For Scriabin, ecstasy in music was erotic, religious, artistic all combined. He truly believed art, and specifically his art, would bring about the redemption of humanity. "The world is unfortunately still unredeemed, but one of its consolations is Scriabin's thrillingly voloptuous music." -Andrew Huth |
