Around They Whirled

My latest mix | 10 tracks of folk, soaring along with the jet streams

a sonic flight from the highlands of Perú to the marshes of Florida;
a stopover in 20s Havana, and on to the Greek isles;
an audience with both a Roma band, and a Ukrainian fiddler king;
further along to timeless Egypt and Addis Abeba's queen of groove;
a Sanskrit devotional whisks you from deepest India to enchanting Bali;
and ending with a lullaby to the moon, in the land of the rising sun.
