Radiooooo is a neat site for world music by decade and genre. You select a country, then the decade you want. from the "Taxi Stand" you pick the speed of song: slow, medium, and fast. You can build a Playlist of songs by liking songs or buying them. The site is in beta, so not all countries are represented, but the database is growing fast. This could be great to include in cultural or historical studies, or just for background music in your classroom.
BOOK TIP: When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds
There is an old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover." But this is a book that is being heavily judged by its cover. Several libraries are being asked to remove the book from its shelves because of the gun on the cover. However, if you read the book, the gun plays a small role and violence is not espoused. It is the story of Ali, who lives in Brooklyn with his sister and single mother. He gets into a bit of heat at a party while trying to protect his friend. It is a book about friendship, family and loyalty. Give it a read - especially before judging the cover.
