Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday October 3, 2014

At WRIR, our cup (pictured above — no, not really) currently runneth over with great new Afrobeat and Afro-funk records.  You'll hear nine of them this week on Global A Go-Go, including a track from the forthcoming new album by The Budos Band (actually pictured above).

Also this week: Sunda music from Bandung in West Java, and remembering your grandmother's stories during the Days of Awe.

In case you're wondering, yes we're having difficulties with our live stream (broadcast is fine) — the computer that hosts it keeled over Thursday night, we probably won't have its brand-new replacement up and running until Saturday.  So bear with us in the interim; maybe now is a good time to check out one of the last two weeks' shows that you missed the first time, via our listening portal:
