Global A Go-Go presents:

Wednesday October 3, 3:00-5:00 PM

Sorry to say, it’s once again time to pay tribute to a Global A Go-Go inspiration who’s shuffled off this mortal coil.  Two weeks ago it was Rachid Taha; this week it’s trumpeter/conguero Jerry Gonzalez, who died in a house fire at his home in Madrid on October 1.

I came to world music from jazz, and Jerry Gonzalez is one of the players who led me there.  He grew up in New York City in the 1960s playing both jazz and Afro-Latin dance music.  When Jerry was 21, he was simultaneously playing the cuchifrito circuit and working with Dizzy Gillespie’s combo.  He was looking for something more: he wanted both the freedom of jazz and the deep roots of his Puerto Rican folklore, all in the same music.

He found it in the bands he started and joined: Conjunto Anabacoa, Grupo Folklorico Y Experimental Nuevayorquina, Manny Oquendo’s Libre, his own Fort Apache Band.  Just when you thought he had it all figured out, he moved to Spain in 2000 and somehow added flamenco to his unique cultural hybrid.

You’ll hear a sampler of music from Jerry Gonzalez’ career this week on Global A Go-Go.  Also this week: celebrating the birthday of Vincent “Randy” Chin, one of the unsung heroes of reggae; new Afro-funk from Kaleta & Super Yamba Band; and a set of electro-cumbia to send you home dancing.
