Free World Music Downloads From South By Southwest

Friday June 23, 2006
The World, a world music radio show from the BBC and WGBH (in Boston), is offering free full-length podcasts of several world music concerts from the 2006 South By Southwest conference. There are six full-lenth sets offered, featuring Iranian rockers 127, Spanish reggae-jazz singer Gecko Turner, The Refugee All-Stars of Sierra Leone, Russian rock band Auktyon, Brazilian singer-songwriter Lenine, and Cambodian-meets-surf rock band Dengue Fever. I've only listened to the Refugee All-Stars concert in full (and it's awesome!), but as far as I can tell, everything else is great as well.

Go to The World and start downloading! And let us know what you thought!
