NPR: Happy Weekend ... and Music

Happy Weekend ... and Music

It's been a great week for us musically. For upcoming shows, we taped interviews with Malian artist Habib Koite and R&B-with-a-twist-er Lyfe Jennings. Stay tuned for those.

There's been plenty of hard news for us to cover this week, including the verdict in the Sean Bell case. But I also ALWAYS enjoy our tour through pop culture with Allison Samuels. We talked about "BeyonceJay"'s wedding, Star Jones' divorce, and more.

But it's about that time to r-e-l-a-x.

So, do that ... and enjoy the video of Youssou N'Dour playing at World Malaria Day at the UN.
