>From the edge of the Sahel desert in Niger comes the nine-member group
Mamar Kassey. Led by singer-songwriter Yacouba Moumouni, Mamar Kassey's
second album Alatoumi, on the World Village label, takes traditional
West African music and brings it into the present, resulting in some hot
and sweet dance music.

GREG RIBOT in an on-air interview on Thursday 5:30 p.m.
Tune in to hear acclaimed composer, arranger, and musician Greg Ribot 
speak with WXYC prior to his upcoming performance at 8:30 p.m. Thursday 
night in the Great Hall of the UNC Student Union.  Mr. Ribot will be 
performing alongside fellow musician Francisco Navarro and tango dancers 
Laura and Pedro Escudero in a celebration of Argentinian music and 
dance.

BOOM BIP, "Seed to Sun" on the Inside Track, Friday 9 p.m.
Anticon producer boom bip's solo album is an exploration of psychedelic
electronica infused with the distinctly anticon hip hop sound.  A 
winding,
surrealistic listen, featuring guest MC doseone.

SMASHING PUMPKINS, "Gish" on the Classic Inside Track,
Sunday 2-3 p.m.
Alt-rockers Smashing Pumpkins' 1991 debut album "Gish" has often been 
overlooked in favor of the band's later, more commercially successful 
work. 
But you haven't heard the Pumpkins until you've heard "Gish"; its 
mixture 
of post-Sabbath grind, arena-rock bluster, and psychedelic dream pop 
makes 
it not only the band's most unique album, but perhaps their best and 
most 
influential as well. The strains of "Gish" are heard in the work of 
bands 
such as Mogwai, Hum, 12 Rods and Sunny Day Real Estate, but the album 
also 
stands on its own eleven years later, a testament to the skill of one of 
the best bands in an early-Nineties American rock scene that wasn't 
exactly 
lacking for talent.

New and Old Perspectives from the African-American Community with NANCIA 
and YONNI on Northern Hemisphere Live, Sunday 5-7 pm.
On this Sunday's NHL, Nancia, Yonni, and Rose and Joe Odom will discuss 
current issues related to the African-American community from the 
perspectives of their respective generations.  Listeners are invited to 
call in and participate.

ODDFELLOWS CASINO, "Yellow Bellied Wonderland" on the Inside Track, 
Monday 9 p.m.
Positively dashing debut full-length from Brighton, UK-based pop 
songsmith
David Bramwell, aka Oddfellows Casino. Dense arrangements of strings,
horns, keyboards, a smattering of electronics, and expertly executed
balladry make for an elegant and dainty cumulative aural experience. Out
on Pickled Egg Records.
