World Music with Deirdre Saravia takes you on a musical journey to some of the world’s most fascinating places. From China to Brazil, from the Balkans to Indonesia, World Music will introduce you to sounds from a world far from your own, some of it totally foreign to American ears, much of it very familiar. A world traveler herself, the Belfast native introduces each piece with fascinating details about the music, the musician and the culture that produced them.

World music today is more popular in the U.S. than ever, Saravia says. There is, she says, a burgeoning interest in foreign performers and their music. “When I first started doing world music, there was almost nothing available here. I would have to go to Europe and bring it back.” Today, she says, shelves at music stores are filled with an infinite variety of music, from cultures throughout the world.

She credits the work of performers like Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon for bringing world music to the attention of American audiences. But she has also seen a change in attitude in America towards foreigners. “Before, foreigners would come to America and couldn’t become American fast enough. When I lived in London, you would see people on the street in their native dress. Here, there as always this homogenization,” she says, as foreigners scrambled to disappear into the American fabric.; Today, foreigners feel more comfortable in celebrating their uniqueness, she says.

As a result, Saravia says, there is a burgeoning interest in world music. “Not understanding the language is no longer a problem. People enjoy the music for the beat, the instrumentation.”

Though each World Music show is built around a central theme, rarely will it center on one type of music. Saravia says she strives for variety, though there will always be a connection between the songs she plays. Music from as many as 15 countries can be represented in the same show.

Her love of world music, Saravia says, was inspired by her travels throughout Europe, Africa and the Americas. “You come to learn that people are basically the same throughout the world,” she says. “They sing about the same things."

The Pinker Tones

Barcelona’s electro rockers The Pinker Tones debuted their new full band live show for a packed Central Park SummerStage crowd in New York City. The show came just as the buzz continues to build for their new album, Modular, the follow-up to the Barcelona based-group’s critically-acclaimed release Wild Animals.

Over the past several years, The Pinker Tones have brought their electrifying set to fans across the U.S. as well as to such faraway places as London, Buenos Aires, Moscow, Toronto, Beijing and Johannesburg. They were the only international act to spend the entire summer on the Warped Tour and have also performed multiple times on KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic.”

With ‘Modular,’ The Pinker Tones recruited drummer Robert Guibiaqui into the studio and had him play on the entire album. Guibiaqui will also join the group on the road as their live setup has completely evolved from DJ setup to full band rock show, continuing on the group’s path to global domination. Mr. Furia, one half of the electronic duo, spoke with Dierdre Saravia about their latest effort.

Yungchen Lhamo
Yungchen Lhamo has a voice that can stop you in your tracks, and it did that for Deirdre Saravia some years ago. Shopping in a CD store in Belfast, N. Ireland, a melodious crystalline singing voice soared above the heads of the rain drenched customers and "we were all transported to another place." Yungchen Lhamo is Tibetan and her name means "Goddess of Song." Ama, which means "mother," is her third release and World Music on KSTX host and producer, Deirdre Saravia spoke with Yungchen about her life and music in May 2006.

Iarla Ó Lionáird
Iarla Ó Lionáird possess one of the most unique and haunting voices of the world music scene. For many years he performed and traveled with the Afro Celt Sound System, but he has now decided to go solo. He sings in Irish Sean-nos style which is very different from most traditional Irish singers. Iarla's most recent CD Invisible Fields has just been released and has received outstanding reviews. Listen to a sample of his music and the interview from January 2006 with Deirdre Saravia on World Music on KSTX.

Lila Downs
Born of a Oaxacan mother and Scottish-American father, singer Lila Downs' sound is not only bi-cultural, it travels the entire musical landscape. Music critics hear bits of Linda Ronstadt, Edith Piaf, Mercedes Sosa and even Sarah Vaughn. In the end, she defies characterization. Anyone who experiences the sultry singer's voice realizes they are hearing something important. KSTX's Deirdre Saravia talked with the innovative singer on the August 29, 2004 edition of World Music.

Hugh Masekela
Hugh Masekela has been an entertainer for over forty years. He was born near Johannesburg in 1939. In 1960 he left South Africa and toured the world with his distinctive trumpet playing. Hugh Masekela embraced many diverse genres of music and is truly unique. He was a 'flower child' in San Francisco in the late sixties but by the early seventies he wanted to return to Africa to help improve his homeland. He continues to tour world wide and has just published his memoir 'Still Grazing'. Hear Deirdre Saravia's interview with Hugh Masekela.... in his own words.

Ben Jelen
Ben Jelen is one of the latest and hottest young singer/composers in the pop music scene. Ben was born in Scotland, spent his childhood in England and early adolescence in San Antonio. He took violin and piano lessons, played with the youth orchestra and sang in the Children’s Chorus. Ben’s CD "Give It All Away" is aptly titled, he sings with sincerity and passion about his experiences. Listen to an interview Ben had on World Music on KSTX with Deirdre Saravia.

Paddy Maloney of The Chieftains

She was nominated as 'Best Newcomer' with the BBC World Service. Kristi and her husband, Stathis Kalyviotis, work in collaboration to produce the wonderful lyrics and music that identify the young Greek singer. I spoke with her about her career and plans for the future.

Coco mBassi
Coco mBassi has released her first CD but prior to this Coco was in great demand as a backup singer for international singers Oumou Sangare, Salif Keita and Toure Kunda amongst others. Coco mBassi has one of the most suave, hypnotic female voices on the world scene today. Listen to her interview as this singer/song writer and composer talks about her life and future plans.

Gotan Project
The Gotan Project started in 1999 with two French and one Argentinian musicians. Their first album La Revancha Del Tango has swept the European market and the group were named best newcomers by the BBC World Music 2003. Deirdre Saravia of World Music on KSTX spoke with Phillippe Solal, one of the co-founders.

Caetano Veloso
Caetano Veloso is the most important and universally recognized singer/composer/guitarist from Brazil. He has just completed a North American tour and his book Tropical Truth, has recently been released in English. Deirdre Saravia spoke with him just before he started his tour.
