Global A Go-Go presents:

Global A Go-Go: Wednesday March 22, 3:00-5:00 PM

As you probably know, we loving having musicians play live at WRIR.  Not every radio station, and certainly not every low-power FM station, has the facilities and expertise to do this — we make a point of having both.

Some of the bands who play here come from around the corner; others take a longer trip.  The band playing live on Global A Go-Go this week is in the latter category.  The Nile Project (pictured above), a band Afropop Worldwide has called “nothing short of revolutionary,”  brings together artists from Africa’s eleven Nile countries to compose new songs that combine the rich diversity of one of the oldest places on Earth.

They’ll be performing at the University of Richmond’s Camp Concert Hall on Friday night.  And they’ve played a few live-radio sets before: the BBC, KEXP.  On Wednesday at 3 PM, they’ll add WRIR to that list.

Join us for a rare opportunity to hear musicians from Burundi, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan (yes, singer Asia Midany got into the USA before the attempted seven-country travel ban) and Uganda perform live on your own community radio station.
