Back at it! Dance Party with David Sommerstein- The Beat Authority

We're back at it! The  Beat Authority with David Sommerstein is a Friday show (Friday at 3:06  pm to be exact.) It's a kick into the weekend, a bounce for your  afternoon, a swing for your end-of-the-week step. A fresh, eclectic  choice of dance music from all over the world. You may hear cumbia or  bluegrass or afrobeat or jazz, but it'll keep your head a-noddin' and  your spirits up. Join in the groove and enjoy. And if you have  suggestions, e-mail 'em in! Host David Sommerstein says: Ever  since I got a Fisher Price record player for Chanukkah when I was four,  I've been a musical sponge. My favorite stuff is music that ventures  across genres, and music that makes you dance. Globalization has  been a mixed bag, but it's sure invigorated the world of music. Salsa  from Israel, flamenco from east L.A., Algerian rai from Paris, hip-hop  from Senegal, reggae from Morocco–artists are borrowing at will,  threading the sounds they hear on TV and radio into their own  traditions.
