Dear friends,

My 21st guest for Cold War Spaces this week is Joanna Stingray, a Californian rock singer, actress and writer who made her career in Leningrad and Moscow in the years 1984-1996, originally as part of the underground music scene. Joanna just published a book about her years in the Soviet Union and Russia: Red Wave: An American in the Soviet Music Underground. She smuggled tapes from Soviet rock bands out of the country, producing the first ever (double) record of Aquarium, Kino, Strange Games and Alisa in the U.S., while importing an electric guitar donated by David Bowie and a series of signed Campbell Soup cans by Andy Warhol for her Soviet friends. We will speak about some of her wild adventures, interrogations by the KGB and the CIA, and the transformative power of rock.

Wednesday, September 30, 12 p.m. Pacific Time: Joanna Stingray – Connecting Space: Rock Music Between East and West
