An all-star revue featuring local artists including Aki Kumar, Tia Carroll, Marcel Smith, and more.

Aki Kumar is a Mumbai-born, San Jose-based blues artist whose two releases on the Little Village label, Aki Goes To Bollywood (2016) and Hindi Man Blues (2018) are ground-breaking albums in what he has called "Bollywood Blues." Aki joins host Devon Strolovitch this Saturday, March 26 at 8 pm for preview of the Little Village Foundation's concert event next Friday in Berkeley.

Devon Strolovitch studied medieval Judeo-Portuguese manuscripts and earned a PhD in Linguistics from Cornell University before coming to KALW. He is the Senior Producer of Philosophy Talk, and since 2007 has hosted Fog City Blues, the weekly digest of Blues in the Bay Area and beyond.
