Tune-in to CKUT radio for 'world skip the beat', a special edition Cultural 
Crossroads I, hosted by journalist Stefan Christoff, featuring interviews with 
leading global music artists from Montreal.

CKUTs radio's weekly global music program, 'world skip the beat', airs each 
Monday featuring musical sounds from around the world. A special edition, 
Cultural Crossroads I, will highlight unique music while featuring interviews 
with celebrated singer Lhasa de Sela and Balkan musician Lubo Alexandrov.

* Lhasa de Sela is an international celebrated singer from Montreal. Lhasa's 
first release, the dignified La Llorona, introduced to the world to Lhasa as a 
Spanish singer with strong bonds to Mexico. Lhasa's next album, Living Road - 
written from Marseille in southern France, just before her return to Montreal - 
incorporated both English and French. Recently Lhasa de Sela launched her third 
studio album, a self-titled, distinctive release that continues to cultivate 
her desire for independence and the sublime.

* Lubo Alexandrov is a Bulgarian-born and Montreal-based guitarist, composer 
and singer, who mixes Bulgarian, Turkish and Roma musical traditions into a 
contemporary Balkan sound. Alexandrov is a Montreal face to the growing 
international Balkan music movement, playing music intertwined within a musical 
movement that has grown in popularity since the 1990s. Alexandrov brings this 
global Balkan sound to a musical city that is celebrated around the world for 
innovation. In 2007 Alexandrov was awarded a Juno award for his first 
self-titled album and has recently released Contrabanda, a second studio album 
recorded between Montreal and the Balkans to wide critical acclaim.
