The band Cardinal Black has been around for some 20 years in the UK, but just release their "debut" album at the end of October(?). It's called "January Came Close". It's hard to pigeon hole them.

Sona Jobarteh will be profiled in a 60 Minutes segment tomorrow night, Sunday, November 13. She's from Gambia, and plays the Kora.
