Global A Go-Go presents:
Global A Go-Go: Wednesday May 10, 3:00-5:00 PM
First of all, I want to thank the over 470 listeners who donated more than $42,000 during WRIR’s Spring 2017 Fund Drive. This was one of WRIR’s most successful fund drives ever, and you made it happen! You can still get in on the action: just visit wrir.org, click one of the Donate buttons, and get yourself the groovy Spring ’17 premiums.
This week I’ve got the latest from Analog Africa Records, kings of the crate-diggers. It’s called Pop Makossa: The Invasive Dance Beat Of Cameroon 1976-1984, a period when disco was infecting everything in its vicinity, even African music. I’ll spin a hot disco-meets-makossa track from Pastuer Lappe (pictured above) in a set of Afro-disco.
Also this week: Balkan and Rajasthani brass blasters, Tabu Ley’s Afrisa International as they sounded in 1974 and sound today, and electro-cumbia straight outta Mexico.
