Chiwoniso and Sergio Mendes

Here are two self-narrated pieces that aired recently on PRI’s The World.

In the first piece we hear from Zimbabwean singer Chiwoniso.  My colleague Marco Werman actually spoke with her. I took the 45 minute raw file and turned it into a 5 1/2 minute Global Hit. The only voice you hear is Chiwoniso and the music is from her new CD Rebel Woman.  http://www.theworld.org/?q=node/21093

This past summer Sergio Mendes dropped by WGBH for an appearance on the program Jazz with Eric in the Evening. This is a evening show hosted by Eric Jackson. The World’s host Lisa Mullins asked if I could take the material (with Eric’s permission of course!!) and turn it into a self-narrated Global Hit? “Why not,” I said.  Here’s the result: http://www.theworld.org/?q=node/21202

Even though those two interviews were done without any imput from me, believe it or not they were fairly easy to work on. I spent two days going through the raw material, then another day cutting it down even more, and then another mixing in the music.
