If you ever wonder what gets played on the radio in other parts of the world, I've just the ticket. This site has been posted a couple times before but after promising to send the link to a friend I had a hard time finding it, again, on my own damn blog. So here it is. Again.
The site is an interactive rabbit hole. Seriously, if you dig all sorts of International music, budget a hunk of time to familiarize yourself with it. Next time you're doing the dishes tune into a station from the other side of the globe.and they'll be done in no time. Directions:. Spin the globe and pick a dot in the locale of whatever country your looking for. On the globe, there are no borders or city names, just the shapes of the continents with green dots all over it. You'll probably need another map to reference where the cities from music rich regions are. I needed it to find Cape Verde and Lagos Nigeria, but Kingston Jamaica was easy enough to find. Once you know where the city is, just click among the closest green dots and it plays the station from that locale. There will be other nearby stations in the menu on the left of the screen. Even if you don't think you dig unfamiliar sounds, there are literally thousands of stations. Break out of your little rock 'n' roll box.
