Basil's On Gerrard

Greetings from Veritable Infusion!
Busy times ironically mean quiet times out here on social media... but the show soldiers on, and tonight will feature some African records and jams among a bunch of other things, including Buffy Sainte Marie who's playing Massey Hall tomorrow... then a brief celebration of Massey Hall since it's been all over local news this past weekend.
Show starts tonight Monday at 8pm EST at ciut.fm online and 89.5 FM near and in Toronto.
Still recirding at Basil's on Gerrard but the studio awaits our return. As time marches on, the bills keep coming through and we are delighted with the support we've received this fall fund drive and we continue to hope for the continuing online support to, ahem, continue.

Hiya's from Veritable Infusion! Latest show ought to be on the station archive here - ciut.fm/shows/veritable-infusion - sure hope that works as a link...
Beefed a little about languages and the Canadian constitution before moving on to Mali. Related Tunage accompaniment. Les Sinners lp does, of course, refer to Pierre not Justin.
The Toubabou lp is an early vinyl slice of small-w world music, having come out of a live concert with members of Ville Emard Blues Band and musicians from Mali as well as Sierra Leone and Togo, I believe.
The 3rd lp is some modern music but timeless, not locked into this precise moment, from Alkibar Gignor. It's a heavy acoustic guitar album, but of course there is surely a Kora or more on here!
Played a couple of plastic songs for our plastic problems, literally not figurative, and some Juno jams - at least songs from 3 artists connected to the 50th anniversary June's this weekend. Go Julian Taylor!
Veritable Infusion can be heard on Toronto and surrounding airwaves at 89.5 fm and online at ciut.fm.
CIUT is still heading to its 100K $ goal for the spring's fund drive and if you'd like to help us get there, we'd love to hear from you at the website!
Still somehow recording this at Basil's on Gerrard.
