A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

I've Heard of Christmas in July, But...: The Carnival Steel Drum Band and "Winter Wonderland"
Why are you getting a Christmas song in March? Well, I take whatever the randomizer gives me, and this might give you some ideas for some music to play next holiday. Today's song is by the Carnival Steel Drum Band and is a cover of the old holiday classic Winter Wonderland on, you guessed it, steel drums! The band is based in Florida, but have performed around the world playing their orchestral quality steel drums, with touches of flute, guitar and Latin percussion. You can find Winter Wonderland on the 2004 album Carnival Steel Drum Christmas Classics, Vol. 1. A winter wonderland looks and sounds slightly different in the tropics. If you're interested in non-holiday music, they also play that too!
Listen to songs like this and more on the KUNM Global Music Show every Monday night from 10 pm - 1 am Mountain Standard Time. Live streaming, program information and the two-week digital archive can be found at http://www.kunm.org.
