As featured on PRI's Afropop Worldwide. Special guests Lionel Loueke, Abdoulaye Diabate, and John Benitez.

Clarinetist and saxophonist Oran Etkin and his group Kelenia have crafted an extraordinary blend of modern jazz, African, klezmer, and Israeli music that honors tradition while forging a completely distinct path.
