Banji Kaicho presents:

204: Masahiko Satoh 佐藤允彦

Closing out November on a high note, we celebrate the genius, relentless dedication, and profound influence of Japanese jazz pianist Masahiko Satoh.

Since his debut in Akira Miyazawa’s band in 1962, Satoh has crafted a career that stands among the most remarkable in Japanese jazz history. His late ’60s and early ‘70s work is especially untouchable—introducing electronic elements into free jazz, leading and arranging experimental big bands, igniting fusion projects of all kinds, and composing iconic scores including Belladonna of Sadness and themes for Japanese TV shows. During this period, everything he undertook transformed into a now highly sought-after masterpiece. Even after five decades, Satoh continues to be a versatile and forward-thinking artist, consistently shaping and expanding his enduring legacy.

Capturing everything he’s contributed to Japanese jazz is nearly impossible, but today’s show offers a glimpse into his immense artistry. For Satoh, it’s truly a boundless world to explore. 1PM on @wrir97.3fm and wrir.org 🧠🎹

Global A Go-Go presents:

The sound that crushes

The teeming metropolis of Kinshasa is home to the music some folks call Congotronics, although that name is a bit too reductive to describe what’s going on. The artists in question may or may not be using electronics, but they are tapping into traditional rhythms from all across their vast nation, as did the founders of Congolese rumba more than a half century ago.

But it’s a new era for better or worse (for many in Kinshasa, a lot worse) and bands like Kin’Gongolo Kiniata (“the sound that crushes” in Lingala) with their MacGyvered homemade instruments fabricated from trash and their thoroughly punk-rock attitude are what Kinshasa sounds like in 2024. You’ll hear Kin’Gongolo Kiniata’s new single this week on Global A Go-Go, along with a couple of their predecessors.

Also this week (Sunday November 24, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, and any old time at my podcast site): An all-African first hour featuring new music from Aboubakar Traoré & Balima and Dogo Du Togo & The Alagaa Beat Band, plus a new compilation of the best of Benin’s Albarika Store record label; Leenalchi’s post-modern take on Korean pansori; more Anatolian rock with Aylin’s Soulgarden’s debut album and a vintage reissue of Cem Karaca; and some Macedonian brass madness including a band from Indiana from the 1940s.
