Ear to the Globe

| about the show | Over the past five years “Ear to the globe” has become Ireland’s most comprehensive and authoritative guide to new releases and touring artists on the World Music scene. A huge range of musical styles are represented - from Africa, Latin America, Middle East and Asia - as well as folk musics and fusions from Europe and North America. All significant new World Music releases are presented on the show, together with many other less-discovered gems and curios. Interviews with visiting artists are often included. Past interviewees include Youssou N’Dour, Daara J, Nitin Sawhney, Amparanoia, Think of One, Bellowhead and Lucky Dube. Ticket and album giveaways are frequent thanks to the support of record companies and distributors, and concert promoters. “Ear to the globe” goes out every Monday night from 10pm to midnight, and a weekly playlist and includes a gig guide and Top 10 current World Music recommendations. |
