Studies say it takes 30 listens to a song for us to like it. But, if you're like me, after 30 listens, you're ready to move on! Start fresh each week with World Beat Canada Radio and songs you won't hear anywhere else. Like, Italian ska/punk from Shanti Powa, Japanese reggae/cumbia from Berlin's La Gorda Dubs, and Bombay Dub Orchestra's Brandy & Cigars remix of Sonova. We'll hook you the first time!

Being branded as subversive is a point of pride for many global artists. Venture down the road less travelled with the radical (Gipsy Power Band), the tropically punk (The Bolokos), the South Asian Invasion (Black Star Liner) and the bittersweet (Alejandro and Maria Laura), this week from World Beat Canada Radio!

Today's music is not restricted by language, latitude or attitude. It's free to roam far and wide as nature intended. Discover new sounds this hour from Lolomis and Locarno, and Tinariwen share a rarity from their illustrious career. We unwrap another gift from Sam Redmore's Modulate album while Skekewiff revitalize a Dean Martin crooner. Music's the key to a brave and better world. Share it with World Beat Canada!

Pop the top on a fresh can of crunchy good Global! Debuts this hour satiates our appetite for real change, like gun control from Dahlia Dumont with Semi-Automatic Trinket, spicy urban flaves from MTL Sauce Picante, Clash-inspired revolutionary spins from Rachid Taha and The Ratchets, and Real World introduces The Almighty Groove from Frere d'Afrique. Our world spins your way on World Beat Canada!

Combine the international language of music with the telltale signs of body language and you have a great reason to dance! We've got a mix of movers to share this hour from Indian Man​, the Naked Family, even a Funky Iman!​  And, more debuts for you from Robin Layne, Los Bitchos and Eric Hilton plus modern traditional sounds from Korea. Open your ears with another hour of World Beat Canada.
