Showing thanks. As my way of saying “thanks” for spending Friday nights with Radio M, tonight’s show includes a chance to win 10 CDs.

The drawing is part of our Spring Pledge Drive, but you don’t have to become a member to enter the drawing.

I’ve put together a list of my current Top 10, which includes the latest from Columbian art rockers Aterciopelados and Chicago’s Occidental Brothers Dance Band International to Turkey’s Selda Bagcan.

Regular contributor Peter Margasak has also compiled a Top 10 list. His choices inlcude Spain’s Ojos de Brujo and the new one from Caetano Veloso.

Some of the tunes will be featured on the show to give you an idea of the diverse sounds. Of course as a regular listener to Radio M, you’re already familiar with the show’s sonic diversity.

Also tonight, celebrating Ghana’s 50th anniversary, and a few tunes from past in-studio performances.

Come join the fun!
