long distance: global country sounds w/ jamal khadar & fiona anderson

A night of global country music reimagined. In its twangs, two-steps, and high-lonesome melodies we’ll find joy, community, and reflections of our far-flung identities.
Jamal Khadar, host of Reimagining Country on NTS Radio, archives and writes about the global history of country music — particularly its travels across Africa and the Caribbean. He also works with labels like Mississippi Records on reissues that bring overlooked threads of music history to light.
Fiona Anderson is a DJ, art historian, and the creator of Wildflowers -- a Slack Radio show and experimental music night at legendary nightclub The Lubber Fiend in Newcastle, UK. She's known for tracing country, Americana, and folk in unexpected and highly danceable places, and listening from a global, queer, and feminist perspective.
Together they co-run Long Distance, a Substack project dedicated to the global pasts and futures of country, folk, and Americana.
