From their Playing for Change 3 CD, Songs Around The World, we’ll hear Bob Marley’s “Get Up/Stand Up” which features both Keb’ Mo’ and Keith Richards--(ya, cool) along with a dozen others from around the world. And we’ll check out a great version of “La Bamba” with Los Lobos and musicians such as La Marisoul and Argentinian musician Fefe Lee.

For hour two, we’ll dive into some brand new music from a band who’s taken 15 years to release another album. From the legendary Reggae band Black Uhuru, I’ll play two songs off their brand new CD called As the World Turns* (*I don’t think this is a reference to the old Soap Opera). Black Uhuru were one of the early adopters of incorporating Dub elements (turned up bass is one example) into their songs. On Turns they have politically charged songs such as “War Crimes” and a cover of The Clash’s “Police & Thief.” Besides the good news of a new album, Black Uhuru will also be going on tour.
