The Salvation Choir, a Congolese Rumba choir made up of Tanzanian refugees, first started performing traditional gospel music at their church in Independence, Missouri, but soon expanded both their repertoire and their reach. Now, they're playing shows across the Midwest. KCUR’s Laura Spencer stopped by a recent Saturday rehearsal.
Bass virtuoso Xavier Foley asked his friends and colleagues where to go next after his New Jersey apartment was destroyed by Hurricane Ida. After a short search, Kansas City won out. Brooke Knoll of 91.9 Classical KC brings us Foley's story.
