Sur O No Sur - How songwriter Kevin Johansen tells stories to meter and across culture.

The Writers Block - with Ron Knight by Ron Knight

Episode notes

What is the genre, when the song writer's work is essentially a mini-script with a story to tell, to meter, and across cultures? When you're born Alaskan raised in Argentina, are you South or No South, multicultured, when you're described as Continental Post Folk (?) Ron has a chat, and a kick or two, with Kevin Johansen, a songwriter who mixes several rhythms, cultures and languages in the narrative of his musical work. To break borders musically, his stories also break paradigm, whether in Spanish or English to cross the borders of music.
