AN INTERVIEW WITH ROKIA TRAORE
A griot of mood
From Mali comes Rokia Traore, a singer-songwriter whose lyrics are in her native Bamama tongue but whose songs speak a universal language through her sensual, smokey voice. We talk with her about her new album, Tchamantché that moves through deep meditations and joyous hymns.

ECHOES ALTERNATIVE OSCARS
For your consideration....soundtracks the Academy missed
The best soundtracks of the year aren't necessarily nominated for Academy Awards. On this Echoes we'll hear music from films that didn't seem to pass Academy muster, but are welcome on the red carpet of Echoes. It's an all-soundtrack show of Oscar outcasts, though don't be surprised if a couple of Academy Award nominees crash the party.
