Junun, the cross-cultural collaboration wrangled by Israeli composer Shye Ben Tzur and featuring Radiohead‘s Jonny Greenwood along with the Rajasthan Express, is proving to have a wide appeal. In addition to starting the year off as the #1 record on CMJ’s New World charts, Junun has also shown its versatility by reaching a new peak at #16 at Radio 200. If this record isn’t yet in your station’s rotation, then your listeners are missing out on a unique and rewarding sonic journey. Get it started today!

“Uplifting and joyful,” AllMusic Guide wrote in its recent review of the album, “Junun is an inspiring, resoundingly successful collaboration.” The review praises “masterful” producer Nigel Godrich for “showcasing the warmth and spirit of the music itself,” while praising each of the project’s players for their individual contributions to a piece that is far greater than the sum of its parts.
