This Island Earth
Sunday March 15th, 2020 with Manmohan Panesar
New release from Somaliland artist, Sahra Halgan + more uplifting tunes to combat COVID-19 blues

Welcome to THIS ISLAND EARTH, CKCU's globe spinning program, broadcast every Sunday afternoon from 1 to 4 p.m. EST. We visit every corner of the globe with a an electric mix of styles and genres of music. Stay with us this afternoon (Sunday 1-4pm) at CKCU 93.1 FM in the greater Ottawa area or at ckcufm.com from anywhere around the world, as we spin the globe. This afternoon we feature Somaliland vocalist, Sahra Halgan, and her newly released album. Expect to hear some other uplifting tunes to combat COVID-19 blues, new and old. Stay tuned and drop me a line! ---> right there on the right hand side of the screen!
We'll kick things off with Sahra Halgan and her outstanding new album, Waa Dardaaran. Funky, slinky and hypnotic tunes that get into you and stay. Great stuff. Towards the end of the set someone phoned in and told be the sound level is low. Sorry about that. If you're listening on-demand you'll have to crank it up. After this first set the sound level should be much better.
