Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday July 26, 5-7 PM

A week after recapping my favorite releases of 2013's first half, I'm back to get you caught up on some of the cool stuff I'm already hearing in the second half of the year.  The selection is anchored by a track from the outstanding new album Blackbird by Fat Freddy's Drop (pictured above) — another killer disc by Wellington, New Zealand's kings of reggae, soul and improvisation.

This week's program also features new releases from Gogol Bordello, Jimmy Cliff, Alpha Blondy and Richmond's own Bio Ritmo, With plenty of vintage selections in the mix as usual, including one from the new Saoco! Vol. 2 collection of historic Puerto Rican salsa.
