The Alabama Shakes "American Dream" questions whether it's become the impossible dream
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

As KCRW DJ Aaron Byrd would say, the global exploration in search of the perfect groove continues. Join Anthony and Novena as they make stops in Portugal to check out the latest single from electronic producer Brenko, and Sweden to hear a new melodic gem from Little Dragon collaborator Sir Was. Plus Raul Campos returns with another edition of Global Beat: Australia. No passports needed — just open hearts and open minds.
