#2873: November 2008 New Releases

New Sounds | May 24, 2010
It's that time of the month again for the new releases show on New Sounds. John Schaefer carefully sorts through the stacks, bins, and boatloads of new CDs which have come across his desk over the past month to present some of the finest new releases. Expect some gamelan music, perhaps a bit of berimbau blues, maybe some new music from Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson, hopefully Kurdish and Iranian songs, and more.
