SOUNDTRACKS
Music Without Borders
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 @ 8:00PM & 11:00PM
Host Marco Werman (of public radio’s The World on PRI) heads our crew of international correspondents —Alexis Bloom, Arun Rath and Mirissa Neff — who will take viewers on journeys of discovery from the bayous of Louisiana to the backstreets of Havana, from the nightclubs of Paris to desert music festivals in Mali. They’ll interview everyone from Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Famers to Bollywood singers, violin virtuosos to bluegrass musicians.
Each episode of SOUND TRACKS will feature three well-crafted stories followed by a “Global Hit” musical performance. Our pilot episode takes you to Russia, Nigeria and Kazakhstan (with a Hollywood sidetrip) and concludes with a soulful song by the Portuguese diva, Mariza, who may be the biggest star you’ve never heard of.
