Live performance by Zee Avi (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
 
From YouTube poster to pop star hopeful, Zee Avi earned an album for her efforts. Zee, a Borneo-born, Malasia-based singer songwriter, channels a fair amount of Nora Jones and Billie Holiday in her charming, self titled debut, which features her playing both guitar and ukelele. Zee Avi dropped by to play a few tunes live.

Live performance and chat with Black Sea Hotel (Listen to this set: Pop-up)
 
With a debut conjuring up another part of the world, Black Sea Hotel focuses on the angelic a capella traditions of Bulgarian women's choirs. The quartet melds a contemporary, other-worldly style with a reverence for this ancient tradition. Three members of Black Sea Hotel sang live and brought some traditional recordings to spin on WFMU.

So Zee is from Malaysia? Does she know of the Malay pop singer Bic Runga? What does Zee think of Bic? I used to listen to a bit of Bic back in the day.

"SpeeyPete" - hands down
  3:44pm
SpeedyPete:

Not bad with the Bic Runga reference huh?

Y'er welcome Irene.
  3:47pm
Parq:

I'm definitely hearing some jazzy phrasing in these last couple of songs, but I believe that playing "Name That Genre" is usually more limiting than illuminating. That's why my fave Itunes (sorry, Ike) tag is "Unclassifiable".
  3:54pm
JCityJensen:

Hey There? are there archives of the Primavera shows?
  3:54pm
dc pat:

what, Ike doesn't like iTunes? Hmm, iTunes and ill-used apostrophe's, what does that tell you about a guy?
  4:03pm
Parq:

Jens, as of last Friday night, the answer to that was no. Maybe things will change. Pat, I'll brooke no disparagement of our pal and the station's ur-volunteer.
  4:11pm
dc pat:

hey I'm not disparagin', just a friendly poke.
  4:15pm
