Wanda's Picks

Today's show is dedicated to my nephew Obataiya Tamirr Lewis, who was killed by Oakland police just a month ago, December 20, 2010. He was 19 years old. I rebroadcast a special show following the Oscar Grant verdictlast year. We open with Thalaza, a song from Ladysmith Black Mambazo's latest CD: "Songs fro a Zulu Farm." The ensemble is in California for the weekend, tonight in Sacramento at the Crest Theatre, Saturday at Poly Tech and Sunday in Campbell at the Heritage Theatre before heading for Hawaii and then to New Orleans.
