It ’s International Surf Music Month and National Accordion Awareness Month! There are a lot of ways to celebrate June. We choose debuts of the best in global grooves like: flamenco synthpunk from Seville’s Salvar Donana, new Sufi fusion from Iraq’s Ahmed Moneka, Sonova’s got your motivation from the new Future Grateful Vol.1, even some nu-disco from Estonia. Of course we honour the squeeze box with Madagascar’s Regis Gizavo and catch a wave with Quebec City’s Babalooneys! Surf’s always up at World Beat Canada Radio.

Diversify your global investment with an hour of what the world is listening to! Groove Professor, Jef Stott gets us started with new ear candy. Tunisian-American EMEL introduces 100% woman-made music. Another Ska-laden debut from Los Furios, Cambodian psych from Dengue Fever and a positive spin from Nosotros are also in the mix. Then, Kyiv’s Natasia Y decries Russia’s ecocide in Ukraine plus challenging Balkan experimental folk from Gordan. Hope holds up the world with World Beat Canada Radio!

Electric strings on different things this hour. Adama Yalomba plugs in the ancient N’dan, a six string harp from Mali. From Niger it’s frenetic distortion by Tuareg rocker Mdou Moctar. Balkan Taksim wrap the sounds of the baglama, Aytac Dogan and quanun around electronic beats. We debut the first of 3 EPs which comprise Andrew McPherson’s new groove project, Sonova, and sample fresh tastes from Ibibio Sound Machine and Venezonix’ update of Golpe De Tamobor rhythm from Venezuela.

Today’s theme is Imagination Unlimited (by Claudio Corona). Quebec City Mexican-Canadian Boogat drops Del Horizonte with the album opener featuring Okan. From the imagination behind Eccodek and Peppermoth comes Sonova, funky grooves to heal a desperate world. Plus, Seville-based nuevo-flamenco from Yeli Yeli, and, in the words of Elisapie and The Westerlies, Wish You Were Here. World Beat Canada Radio!
