MUSIC FROM THE WORLD, 9 AUGUST 2019
Welcome to the 71st edition of Music From the World.
Tonight's episode features music from artists who are not from the US, but are often mistaken as Americans. I will play the song and will not announce the song, artist, or country of origin until after the song, to give you a chance to see if you can guess who it is and which country they/he/she are from.
Unlike most of my broadcasts, these songs will be familiar popular songs that were broadcasted extensively in the US. In addition, they will all be in English.
Comments or requests welcome at: wruumftw@gmail.com.
Next week's episode will be titled "Rock on a Feather" and will feature light rock in: Spanish, Italian, English, Serbo-Croatian, Estonian, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Tagalog, Hungarian, and Bengali.
