So many exciting things happened in the AATW world this summer, and I look forward to sharing the results of them with you this fall and beyond. One of the most exciting advances is that a multinational coalition of musical magicians, led by tabla master and revered guru Samir Chatterjee, finished final tracking for All Around This World: South and Central Asia, which will ultimately become a two CD set featuring 34 songs from all over the region, especially India. Samir called together phenomenal musicians from far and wide to create the easily enjoyable yet complexly layered music that will populate the CD. If you’re an educator in a home or school environment you will be able to have access to the AATW: South and Central Asia “classroom kit” in the spring. The rest of us … we have a huge springtime 2015 AATW: Africa release to wade through before we get there. But we’ll get there.
