The Rhythm Atlas is hosted and produced by Denis McGilvray through NPR
affiliate station Public Radio Tulsa in Oklahoma and also carried each week
by KAMU Public Broadcasting at Texas A&M University. On this hour-long
weekly program you'll hear an eclectic mix of music from around the world:
African/Diaspora, Latin, Celtic, Québécois, Cajun, Zydeco, Indigenous,
folk/roots traditions outside the US, genre-crossing global fusion, etc.
(Please note that because there is an Americana/Folk/Roots program called
Folk Salad that airs immediately after my show on Public Radio Tulsa, I do
not play Americana on my show. Before sending anything, please look at my
recent playlists and read my program info to see if your music might fit my specialized "world music/global roots" format. Thanks!)
