About us:  

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 grassroots 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.
