All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 17, 2023

Jazz vocalist and researcher Kavita Shah was born and raised in New York City, but for the past seven years she's spent extensive time on the island of São Vicente.

The result is a recently released new album, Cape Verdean Blues, and Shah joins us in studio for a Listening Party.
