Global Sounds #289 Wednesday 10-06-09

Portugal Day , marks the date of Luís de Camões' death in June 10, 1580 and is Portugal's National Day. Camões wrote the Lusiads, Portugal's national epic poem celebrating Portuguese history and achievements. Although it is only officially celebrated in Portugal, Portuguese descendents throughout the world celebrate the holiday too. Naturally then, on this show, we'll play music from Portugal and Portuguese artists.


In addition, tunes from the new ROUGH GUIDE TO MERENGUE DANCE

We'll be taking a well-earned holiday and searching Canada for more GLOBAL SOUNDS.
