Episodes
Episode 73 this week features SERGE GAINSBOURG as our FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK! Serge Gainsbourg, born Lucien Ginsburg, was the son on Jewish Ukrainian immigrants who fled to France during Nazi occupation during WW2. He learned the piano growing up, which set him off on a career steeped in music. He had tenacity, he had determination, he had passion, and he had the "it" factor. Probably one of the coolest guys ever, the man was ...

It wasn't until he started writing his own songs that people really started paying close attention. His pa...
On episode 71 of our show this week Geoff and I dive into Cambodia to check out our featured artist this week... PAN RON! Putting out hundreds of songs in such a short amount of time, Pan Ron was prolific and powerful, solidifying herself as one of the leading singers in the East.

Easily one of my favorite episodes so far, not only will you learn about something COMPLETELY different, you'll have a great time doing...
This week on our show ADNAN OTHMAN gets the Featured Artist Special Treatment (tradmark pending*)! Adnan Othman connected with his audience by playing in Major chords, which was how a lot of popular Western music was played at the time, but was able to also fulfill the desire of those who wanted to hear music sung in their own language! Wildly popular in Malaysia and Indonesia during the 60's and 70's, Adnan Othman continues to pla...
On our show this week Geoff and I explore Super-Political Psych-Folk warrior SELDA! An extremely outspoken liberal activist in Turkey, Selda was the student of engineering physics until she decided to pursue musical service to the Turkish people.

This week Geoff and I put on our Mambo Shoes (is that a thing?) and feature BENY MORÉ!!! Beny Boy was a cuban-born singer/guitarist who moved to Mexico City where he found fame and fortune, but not without a long hard road of street hustling and performing in small, tiny clubs. He touched the lives of many with his beautiful voice, uplifting persona, and infectious rhythms. Beny passed away, unfortunately, due to his love of the dr...

But about 20 years later she moved to LA and began singing again, stil...
