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.

Polka Now: Trad.Attack! and "Nüüdispolka"
From Estonia, Trad.Attack!, an innovative band from Estonia provides us with our random tune for today. Trad.Attack! starts from a base of Estonian traditional folk songs and adds modern rock and pop influences as well as looping of past voices in Estonian music and culture. They are a multi-year multiple winner of the Estonian Music Awards. Formed in 2013, the band has a goal of performing in every country in the world. At last count they were up in the 30s. You can find this song, Nüüdispolka, on their 2017 CD Kullakarva (Shimmer Gold). No, it is not nudist polka - it means Polka Now!
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.
