Chanticleer - Trade Winds

Their new program, Trade Winds, is a musical journey of exploration. The Trade Winds have always guided explorers to exotic places. Set sail with Chanticleer as they visit music from Hawaii, Samoa and New Zealand, poetry set to song from China, and robust music from the seafaring peoples of Europe. Called "the world's reigning male chorus" by the New Yorker, this "orchestra of voices" is known around the world for its original, often haunting, interpretations of vocal literature - from Renaissance to jazz and from gospel to venturesome new music.
