Namgar, Nuala Kennedy.

Chilly January is a torrid time of year for world music in NYC - scores of bands come to play showcases during the annual APAP arts presenters conference. Two of them perform live in-studio tonight.

First, Namgar, a singer from Buryatia in the far reaches of the Russian Federation, near Mongolia. Namgar and her band are bringing their distinctive blends of Buryat traditions and 70s heavy rock stylings to NY for the first time. They wowed the big crowd at the annual Globalfest world music showcase at Webster Hall on Sunday night - and they also play a more intimate show at The Shrine, 2271 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd in Harlem (near 133 St) on Thursday January 14 at 10 pm.

Later, Edinburgh, Scotland based Irish traditional flautist Nuala Kennedy and band perform. Nuala has expanded her horizons collaborating with the likes of Will Oldham and members of Teenage Fanclub and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci as well as Appalachian singer Archie Roach. Her January 2010 whirlwind tour of NY took her to WFMU Studio B as well as The Living Room, Drom, Zebulon, Zebulon, Banjo Jim's and Scandinavia House. Her sophomore solo CD is coming out in early 2010: Tune in (Compass Records)

Big thanks to engineer Diane Farris with assistants James Reber and Mark Koch on the Namgar session, engineer Dave Keay of Boot Camp Recordings mobile recording company in Edinburgh, Scotland and assistant Dave Mambach on the Nuala Kennedy session, and to Namgar's producer Leonid Vorobyev.

  7:35pm Your DJ:

Thanks Annie. It's funny, I play them a lot but that's not a track of theirs I would normally play. But I wanted something that felt okay to lead into the live set now, with Nuala Kennedy, and I thought that English language ballad might be nice for that.
