From WWR

I found out about Whole Wheat Radio when I saw Esther perform live and had a chance to meet her. I'm finally following up to see what it's like and so far I'm impressed by everything except how terribly hard to navigate the site is.

Yes, Karjam Saeji is my husband... but I give his songs 5 stars because they're worth it, not because I'm married to him. I hope that people can enjoy listening to his music courtesy of WWR, because it's hard to 'break-out' into the US music market when you're singing in Tibetan... we're trying, but CD sales are mostly to people we know personally so far, so I'm hoping for more word of mouth, and more exposure through communities like WWR.

I'm a music lover in general, though, so I'm here for a lot more than to hear my husband's music, which can be heard in my own home quite easily at all hours of the day and night (often live!).

Oh, and I'm in a Ph.D. program in Culture and Performance, so listening to independent music can almost be called homework...

If I had to 'label' myself musically I'd say my favorite is Rai, followed closely by Qawwali and Bhangra. I also enjoy Zouk, Soukous, music from Brittany, Turkey, the 'stans' (esp. Uzbekistan and Kazakstan), Greek, Gypsy/Roma, Tibetan and Korean music, and I vastly prefer music without English lyrics (including instrumental) to music with English lyrics, unless it's really good. For western music I like Celtic, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz, Polka...
