Welcome to TIE, CKCU's weekly program featuring sounds from around the globe. Today the program will highlight mainly new releases from smaller record labels, as well as present some older tracks. We'll start off with The Internationale as an ode to workers on the front line who fight to make the world a better place for all (May Day the International Workers Day was celebrated on Friday May 1). From there we'll move to new releases from a couple of hot new compilations of African Musics. Drop me a line if you have any questions or comments. Enjoy!
