Tanya Tagaq is a Canadian Aboriginal Music Award-winning Inuit singer from Nunavut in far northern Canada. She has morphed the region's traditional throat-singing (which you may be familiar with from the acclaimed Inuit indie film Atanarjuat) into her own wildly dynamic, very un-traditional style. She's noted for her collaborations, having worked with Björk and Kronos Quartet among others. Tanya will join Kronos and an array of Arctic artists for a big northern-climes concert extravaganza, "Tundra Songs", at Carnegie Hall's Zankel Hall on Saturday, March 13. On tonight's show she previews her latest CD, Auk/Blood.

From African Cream: Gauteng group Khumbula broke into the South African music scene with their smash debut album called ‘Bayakhuluma’ and followed it with their equally successful second album, ‘Kheta’. The group is Skipper Shabalala, Andile Nqubezelo, Msizi "Chunky" Mashiyane, and Bheki Masina, and their unique "Afro-beat" musical style melds a North African influence into their dynamic combination of Maskanda and Fusion, to create the songs on ‘Khetha’.
