...over northwestern Turkey, in the hundreds of square miles savaged by the 7.4-level temblor, people have begun to emerge--slowly, fitfully--from their stupor. Turkish authorities, whose first response was a scandalous paralysis, have moved into action, directing relief where it is needed, working to forestall a second-wave tragedy of infectious disease.

It's a challenging album that offers peformances by Veloso, k.d. lang, Cape Verdean singer Lura as well as the enchanting sound of Fado--a kind of Portuguese folk-blues. Next up: a CD featuring R.-and-B. stars tackling the music of Duke Ellington. Looks as if Red Hot will stay that way for a long time...
