Tune-in and tune-up your aficionado rating! 

SEPTEMBER 15 - This is the first in a two-part series exploring the Mesopotamian/flamenco connection, and we venture to say this will all be news to American flamencos! The inspiration for this amazing CD, "A Journey to the Roots of Flamenco", is a cassette that Mespotamian-born Jookoo was given by his grandmother. He and his immigrant were family living in Chicago at the time. (They were granted political asylum, as Mesopotamians are Christians in the Muslin Middle East.) Jookoo was playing in a band and making some bucks when he first heard this cassette. Already a fan of cante jondo, he was transfixed by the "flamenconess" of the music. So he set off for Jerez, where eventually Moraito Chico mixed his flamenco guitar in with the songs on the cassette, all due to Jookoo's faith and perserverance. Tune in this week for Part 1 of Jookoo's interview with Kristina, and for some of the huanting music on this CD. AND IF YOU LIKE THE CD, DON'T BY IT ONLINE!!! IT WAS STOLEN FROM THE MAKERS BY THE PRODUCTION COMPANY. COME TO PYB, AND WE'LL GET A COPY TO YOU, AND WE'LL GET THE PROCEEDS BACK TO THE ARTISTS WHO WERE NEVER PAID FOR THEIR WORK!

SEPTEMBER 22 - Part two of our two-part series exploring the Mesopotamina/flamenco connection continues with more music from the CD, "Un Viaje a Los Raices de Flamenco," and the conclusion of our interview with Jookoo, the man responsible for bringing this CD to fruition.
