By Tony SarabiaRadio M January 8, 2016: A look back at some of 2015’s best global music releases.
By Tony Sarabia2015 was another great year for global music releases and this week on Radio M a survey of some of those sounds. You’ll hear everything from searing wah wah pedal ngoni from Mali, indie rock from Lebanon, Ghanaian jazz, the James Brown of Morocco and much more. Radio M also gives a nod to a couple of important rock and roll birthdays. Friday nights and Radio M; the perfect match.
