About

My Vision

Global Ginga unites what geography and politics divide. We are a radio show (and podcast) that features music from around the world. But we are much more than a radio show, we are a grass roots movement, an event entertainer, a community partner. Created by Carla Leininger, from Brazil, Global Ginga aims to be a multicultural agent of social change through the sounds and fusion of world music. Featuring lounge and dance jams that make clear that quality music comes in all shapes, languages, colors and sounds, guests will hear traditional and underground hot blends of world dance and lounge rhythms -- a constant fusion of the best by the best.

O Global Ginga une o que a geografia e a política dividem. Somos um programa de rádio (e podcast) que apresenta músicas de todo o mundo. Mas somos muito mais que um programa de rádio, somos um movimento popular, um animador de eventos, um parceiro da comunidade. Criado por Carla Leininger, do Brasil, o Global Ginga visa ser um agente multicultural de mudança social através dos sons e fusão da música do mundo. Apresentando ritmos de lounge e dança que deixam claro que música de qualidade vem em todas as formas, idiomas, cores e sons, nossos ouvintes ouvirão misturas tradicionais e de ritmos mundiais menos populares (underground ) de dança e lounge - uma fusão constante dos melhores pelos melhores.
