23 - MIX: Alan Lomax in Carriacou, 1962

Been All Around This World

Been All Around This World has a new co-host! ACE Program Coordinator and Been All Around This World producer Michael Cormier-O'Leary joins Curator Nathan Salsburg in bringing you new episodes of this podcast. We are expanding the show's format to include episodes like today's, which is a continuous mix of music, mixed in with our deeper dives. This will allow us to release content more frequently while still developing longer form explorations of material within the collection.

In the wake of the devastation recently wrought by Hurricane Beryl, today's mix is a survey of recordings Alan Lomax made on the Grenadian island of Carriacou in 1962. If you'd like to help with relief efforts on the island, consider making a donation to the World Food Programme: https://secure.wfpusa.org/donate/wfporg-redirect?ms=2000_UNR_wfp_redirect_EX
