In World Music News:
I will interview Koy Severino on the World Music Show tonight, Monday, January 17 around 8:00 pm. Many of you remember him from The Presidents. Koy has a new CD with his group kayamunggi called "nagsilipat ang lahat sa Amerika."

There will be a record release party on Saturday, January 29 at Magnolia Park Design Studio, 719 East 11th St. in the Heights.

Also on the World Music Show tonight, recordings of Dr. Martin Luther King at 9:00 pm.

Last week the recordings from the Museum of New Mexico were very well received by listeners and we will play more from them when I am back in a couple of weeks.

Cultural-Crossroads News:
We are working on bringing Indian Dancer Namita Bodaji to Houston this summer to give a Bharatha Natyam dance performance and workshop.

Learn more about Namita at http://www.itsecure.com/namita.


Advisory Board:
As we take some steps to formalize the non-profit status of the Houston Institute for Culture we will be establishing an advisory board. If you would be interested or would like to recommend someone, please contact me at mark@cultural-crossroads.com, or by phone at 713-521-3686. It's best to try after 9:00 pm.

It takes a thousand volunteers to make this organization run, but we have only a few! If you are interested in history, cultural activities, the region, pop icons, travel, etc., please contact me at the email address or phone number mentioned above.

La Tienda:
If you shop on the Internet, try our new cyber shelves. La Tienda is our new on-line store for books, films and educational items recommended by the Houston Institute for Culture. When you link to BarnesAndNoble.com, Reel.com and SmarterKids.com from our site, we receive a small commission of 3% - 8% of your purchases. By clicking the links to these companies' sites, your purchase price is not affected, but you have to go to the sites using the links on our pages for us to get credit for the commission. We will use that commission to promote our site and to sponsor educational programs.

We don't encourage you to shop on the Internet. You should buy from locally-owned businesses whenever possible.
