This special program celebrates the incredible depth and breadth of contemporary music-making by Indigenous artists from across the North American continent, with many of them singing in the language of their people. It is important to acknowledge that The Rhythm Atlas is created on the land which is the present-day home of the Muscogee, Cherokee, and Osage Nations. *Please see below the playlist for more program info and preferred contact details.*

> Thursday, 8 pm - KAMU Public Broadcasting (College Station, Texas) - KAMU 90.9 FM

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!)
