KMUW's Global Village remembers world music great Cesaria Evora KMUW's Global Village remembers world music great Cesaria Evora

This past Saturday, Dec. 17, world music lost one of its great treasures with the passing of Cesaria Evora. The Barefoot Diva, as she was known, almost single-handedly introduced the haunting music of Cape Verde to the world and paved the way for a new generation of artists to follow. KMUW's world music show Global Village pays tribute to Evora in a special show highlighting some of her classic recordings, artists who worked with her and the performers she inspired at 7 p.m. today (Tuesday Dec. 20).

Global Village, KMUW's eclectic world music-based show hosted by Chris Heim, airs at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday on KMUW FM 89.1. Global Village is also distributed nationally through PRX, the Public Radio Exchange.

The full schedule of KMUW programming, including more about Global Village specials and regular programming and a link to listen online is available at http://www.kmuw.org.
