CKCU Funding Drive episode II: Stand up for multiculturalism, pluralism, diversity, our shared humanity!

With the days getting darker, both literally and figuratively, now is the time to stand up and be counted! Stand up for a truly independent station which celebrates community and inclusion. Stand up for my program which has championed multiculturalism, diversity, and our shared humanity as demonstrated through music! Stand up for joy! 30 years I have been on-air at CKCU, and my appreciation and knowledge of music has just continued to grow, as has my desire to share it with you. Please stand up and show your support for CKCU!
We'll hear a wide selection of some of my favourite music today, both old and new!

The chorus of stunning, piercing voices from Janka Jobateh, Fanta Kuyateh, and Jeni Doumbia push this song into the stratosphere, one of my favourite songs from anywhere in Africa. From Jali Mousa Jawara's debut 1983 album when he was only 21.
Haidara
Jali Musa Jawara - Yasimika - Rykodisc
In the early 2000's, Jali Musa Jawara was playing in his Kora Jazz Trio with Abdoulaye Diabate on piano and Moussa Cissoko on percussion.
N'Dimi
The Kora Jazz Trio - The Kora Jazz Trio - Celluloid
Another absolute favourite. Tinariwen from their 3rd international release in 2007. A song that feels like it can stretch out to infinity, like the horizon in the Sahara from camel back. Such unforgettable longing in these songs...
Matadjem Yinmixan
Tinariwen - Aman Iman
Another absolute favourite song from the Kamkars!
Set Me Free
The Kamkars - Kani Sepi - Kereshmeh

Beautiful, beautiful music today, David. From that piano piece early in the show, to Franz Liszt stories and music, to Lorna's Tango..........the show is leaving me breathless today. Drake has not been doing well all week and this is lifting my spirits immensely!! Thank you, David!!

Flamenco can cure anything. Drake got out of bed and walked out into the kitchen during the 4 flamenco guitars!! Amazing! I had to carry him into my bed early this morning and he had not moved a muscle all day. The Power of Music. Especially for a Dancing Labrador.

Thank you! I am sorry to hear the Dancing Labrador is not doing well. Dogs fill your heart out like nothing else. Add music to the mix, and you have the ingredients for a wonderful life. Today, Nov 7, is the birthday of my first Sheepdog Mady. Born in 2009, but taken from me far too young only 8 years later. She is in my thoughts every single day.

Like my last girl, Ollie. Her ashes float in Pinks Lake in the Gatineau where we walked around the whole lake on weekends. Her photo is in every room in my apartment. My heart joins your memories too. And thank you for your wishes and thought for Drake, David. It means a lot to me.
