Sound Tracks Pilot Episode (1x1)

: 25, 2010

Our pilot episode -- presented by Oregon Public Broadcasting -- takes you to Russia to investigate a pop propaganda song about Putin; to Nigeria to learn about the legendary Fela; and to Kazakhstan (with a Hollywood sidetrip) to see how the controversial movie Borat led to a beautiful symphony. The show closes with a soulful song by the Portuguese diva, Mariza, who may be the biggest star you've never heard of. This episode aired on PBS in January 2010.
