    Default Amina Alaoui on NPR.

    Amina Alaoui is a Spanish singer who blends old and new sounds of North African art music. There's flamenco, and Fado music on the disc including arrangements of mandolin, oud and guitar. The music is pretty interesting too. You can hear the story, and two songs here.

    New music on my wish list. Hope you enjoy.

    Thanks for that Jamie - a little taster from Afro Pop, the best program on NPR.

    I'm surprised to see that Kurt Vile is getting serious corporate promo too - I thought he was an indie guy, who was getting a lot of play locally.

    Esperanza Spaulding was on Marion McPartland's Piano Jazz over the weekend. Fun!

    I caught the feature on NPR on the way home yesterday. One song had a bit of mandolin in it. Incredible "atmosphere" from the cuts I heard. What a voice.
