Journey with our host Tony Sarabia around the world as he explores world cultures and people through music and sounds. He’ll also delve deep into Chicago’s world music scene, interviewing local artists and helping listeners understand their worldly influences.
Every third Friday of the month Chicago Reader music writer Peter Margasak joins host Tony Sarabia with “New Sounds”—a handful of his favorite new releases. You can find about more about his choices right here, as well as a sample of a song from each artist.
Radio M is dedicated to capturing the live experience around Chicago from touring world music artists/bands. Periodically, Radio M will bring you a segment entitled “From The Stage,” featuring concert highlights from local, nation and international artists performing in Chicago.
Radio M is produced by Chicago Public Radio for listeners around the globe. "From The Stage" is recorded and produced by Eric Butkus. Some of the music played on Radio M is provided by Dusty Groove.

Reaktion & Tapsit are very happy to introduce 2 new records of tuareg music:
TERAKAFT : LIVE 2008 6 tracks recorded during the European tour 2008. Includes 2 unreleased tracks: “Targa” et “Ewarnanagh”
AZAWAD : LIVE 1999 Behind the name of Azawad are hidden three original members of the Tinariwen collective: Abdallah, Hassan and Kedou. These are the live recordings made in 1999 in France, which can perhaps be considered Tinariwen’s first concert outside Africa.
