Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday December 5, 5-7 PM

This week's program starts with a tribute to Cayman Mooney (pictured above), who died on Monday.  Cayman was a former WRIR volunteer (co-host of The Odyssey Hours, part of WRIR's stable of amazing late-night shows), a hell of an accordion player (with My Son The Doctor, Richmanian Ramblers, busking on the street, or in any situation), a man equally passionate about Eastern European music and social justice.

I'll try to reflect all of those characteristics in a set of music that I think Cayman would have approved of, including several songs from his personal library and a never-before-heard performance of his own.  The world's a poorer place without you, my friend.

Also on this week's program: cumbia power, elegancia tropical; sounds from the Sahara and Ethiopia; and soukous lives.

P.S. Cayman was my guest in the studio on March 29, 2013 — we talked about and played two hours of music by Europe's untouchables, the Gypsies and the Jews.  Here are links to the blog post and podcast for that program:
