It’s the third Friday of the month and on Radio M that means a visit from Chicago Reader music writer Peter Margasak. Peter gets hundreds of CD’s and so it’s quite a job for him to sift thru the best of the best in global music for Radio M airplay and this month is no exception.

This month Peter’s picks take us to Brazil, Mali, Southern China and other destinations. Also during the show; sounds of Japan, Iran, Nigeria, India and Syria.

Radio M- the best global sounds in Chicago and beyond.
