KCRW Playlist

Today's Top Tune! Brooklyn-based Alsarah & the Nubatones were formed out of many conversations around modern migration and the cultural exchanges between Sudan and Egypt (plus a common love of the pentatonic scale). Their third full studio album Seasons of the Road has been five years in the making and marked by perilous milestones. “Bye Bye” is one of the first songs they’ve written in English — a break up song written in the tradition of the blues.

The latest from Yukimi! Her debut solo album "For You" is set for release on March 28th. KCRW Presents: Yukimi @ the Fonda Theatre on May 4th.

GIVEAWAY! Sharon Van Etten & the Attachment Theory hit the road in support of their eponymous album with a show at the Wiltern on Wednesday, May 21.

We have five pairs of tickets to give away!
