This just in from the Department of Ethnomusicology Faculty News:
Cheryl Keyes was nominated for an NAACP Image Award under the category of “world music” for her debut CD, “Let Me Take You There.” The 40th NAACP Image Awards airs live on February 12, 2009 on FOX.
The CD and Professor Keyes were recently the subjects of our inaugural EARcast and an extended recording review (with audio examples!) by a fellow scholar of African-American music, Dr. Miles White. A copy of the album is available in the Archive, ARCD 7175.
Congratulations, Dr. Keyes!
