Back on August 18th, we were joined in the studio by Esty Dinur for a preview of this year's Madison World Music Festival. It was a great show and you can download it in the Here on Earth archive. We promised you on this blog that we would try to line up some of the performers ahead of the festival which happens this weekend in Madison, Wisconsin.

Well, my dear readers, I'm proud to say we've done just that.

On Wednesday's show, the versatile guitarist Prasanna will join us live from the Boston studios of WGBH. He'll play a couple of solo selections and discuss his latest CD Electric Ganesha Land.









Then on Thursday, it's the rich sounds of Nation Beat. They'll actually join us right here in our Madison studios for a stripped down performance.

Plenty of treats for you this week. And to our friends in Wisconsin: Don't forget to check out the festival this weekend. It's free, after all!
