Habib Koité & Eric Bibb – Brothers in BamakoFriday, April 19 at 9 p.m.21st-century Malian griot Habib Koité and new world bluesman Eric Bibb join the rhythms of

their guitars and voices for some transatlantic blues. Koité’s ancestral knowledge set to song places him among the most influential voices of contemporary Africa. Bibb, godson of Paul Robeson, has established his name in the new generation of bluesmen without renouncing the legacy of folk and gospel.

The Creole Choir of CubaFriday, April 26 at 9 p.m.Founded in 1994, The Creole Choir of Cuba has combined modern Haitian sounds with music passed down from their families since the early 19th century. Although all of the members are native to Camagüey, Cuba, they are also all descendents of Haitians enslaved to the Caribbean from West Africa. The Creole Choir’s joyous sound is a feast for both the ears and eyes.

Hamid Al-SaadiFriday, May 3 at 9 p.m.Vocalist Hamid Al-Saadi is the leading authority on the Iraqi Maqam tradition and has been named the main purveyor of the Maqam in his generation.

The centuries-old tradition is unique to Iraq and is one of the most sophisticated musical forms in the Arab world. In 2003, UNESCO added Maqam to the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This concert marks Al-Saadi’s U.S. debut performance.

AltanFriday, May 10 at 9 p.m.Altan have established themselves as one of the most important live acts to play traditional Irish music in Ireland and on the world stage. During their 25+ years of playing together, this band has created a way to bring the beauty of traditional music to contemporary audiences with their heartwarming and dynamic live performances. In 1996, they were the first Irish band of their kind to be signed by a major record label.

A l t A n

Future episodes include performances by:BajoFondo What began as a collective of Argentine and Uruguayan artists who combined programming and samples with

acoustic and electric instruments has now evolved into an eight-member group that liberally adds elements of Latin American roots music.

alash Believing that traditional music must constantly evolve, the musicians subtly infuse their songs with western

elements while staying true to their Tuvan music, culture, and heritage. They are masters of both traditional Tuvan instruments and the art of throat singing.

oliver Mtukudzi & the Black spirits Oliver Mtukudzi is Zimbabwe’s pride and national treasure. A member of the Kore Kore tribe, he is one

of the most successful African recording artists in North America. In fact, one of his biggest fans is Grammy-winning country singer Bonnie Raitt.

joan soriano Born in the rural countryside in the Dominican Republic, Joan fashioned his first guitar from fishing line and

a discarded metal box. Today, he blends Afro-Dominican’s sacred traditions with bachata, which he infuses with equal parts romance and grit.

p’indékuecha This musical group of the indigenous P’urhépecha people of the western Mexican state of Michoacán

performs native genres using violin, guitar, bass, and vocals. First formed in 1999, they have since been recognized as cultural ambassadors.

christine BalFa & BalFa toujours This traditional Cajun band from Louisiana plays it straight from the heart, as it has been played in their

Cajun family for hundreds of years. Led by Christine Balfa, daughter of the late, great Cajun fiddler Dewey Balfa, the band carries on in the soulful, impassioned Balfa Brothers tradition.

kauMakaiwa kanaka’ole His performances and music seamlessly meld Hawaiian culture and modern sensibilities by drawing from ancient

‘oli (chant) traditions, modern melodies, and original mele (songs), in a powerful mix of music that speaks to the soul.

Buika Born on the Spanish island of Majorca to Ecuato-Guinean parents and surrounded by the flamenco music found in

the Roma Gypsy neighborhood where she grew up, Buika has become a spellbinding performer with a powerhouse voice.

GariFuna collective In 2007, Andy Palacio & the Garifuna Collective created one of the most praised world music albums ever

released. The band continues to produce soul-stirring songs inspired by their unique Afro-Amerindian cultural heritage.

Here are some of this month’s highlights categorized by content area.

SCIENCEProgram: NOVA – Japan’s Killer Quake Focus: Earth Science Airing: Monday, April 1 at 8 p.m. Grades: 6—12Overview: In its worst crisis since World War II, Japan faces disaster on an epic scale: a death toll likely in the tens of thousands, massive destruction of homes and businesses, shortages of water and power, and the specter of nuclear melt-down. NOVA offers a clear-headed investigation of what triggered the earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent nuclear crisis.

Can science and technology ever prevent devastation in the face of powerful natural forces? Free Additional Resources: Additional links provide further information on surviving a tsunami, anatomy of a tsunami, once and future tsunamis, training for a nuclear crisis, earthquakes in the Midwest, and more. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/earth/japan-killer-quake.html

SOCIAL STUDIESProgram: A Taste of History – Boston’s Freedom TrailFocus: Geography and History Airing: Saturday, April 20 at 4:30 p.m. Grades: 3–6Overview: This program explores the Freedom Trail, a walking tour of famous sites from 18th-century Boston, and then inspires us with historic Boston favorites: clam chowder and tripe à la mode.Free Additional Resources: Visit the Freedom Trail virtually!

Whether or not you are a budding environmental scientist, it is important to know how one environment affects another. From the big picture (how humans impact nature) to the details (interactions between microorganisms), the City Colleges of Chicago has a class for you. Make Earth Day 2013 your motivation to learn more about our planet and the different environments found on it. Please see the CCC Course Catalog for more information.

stationbreakAbout 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by

water—so WYCC PBS Chicago is celebrating Earth Day (April 22) all month long with programs about the importance of protecting our water resources, for a number of vital reasons.

Over one billion people worldwide lack access to safe drinking water. Water Pressures, airing Monday, April 1 at 9 p.m. and Saturday, April 6 at 7 p.m., documents the partnership between villagers in water-distressed Rajasthan, India, and students and faculty from Northwestern University in Evanston as they work to solve the water crisis in the Thar Desert.

American health workers and community partners face a relentless cycle of success and failure during Global Health Frontiers: Foul Water, Fiery Serpent on Saturday, April 6 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, April 7 at 9 p.m. These dedicated men and women struggle to confront Guinea worm disease, a disabling parasitic infection caused by drinking contaminated water and

last reported in Ghana and Sudan. Then, tune in to the first episode of Congo, “The

River That Swallows All Rivers,” on Wednesday, April 10 at 7 p.m. The Congo River, one of Africa’s least explored regions, is now so wide that animals are unable to cross it. It is also home to arguably the most primitive fish in the world. (Two additional episodes of Congo air this month, on April 17 and April 24.)

Please check the listings for more information on other programs about conservation.

To enroll today or find more information on classes offered by each of the seven City Colleges, please visit www.ccc.edu or call 773-COLLEGE (773-265-5343).
