Global A Go-Go presents:
Wednesday January 30, 3:00-5:00 PM
For me, one of the great pleasures of hosting a radio show is the opportunity to hear musicians I’ve never heard of, and then find out that I love their music. That’s what happened to me this week — the artist in question is Umut Adan (pictured above) from Turkey.
Adan’s debut international album Bahar (Spring) will be released on February 22. He’s working in a genre called Anatolian rock that back in the 60s and 70s melded Turkish folk music with garage and psych rock, kind of like what bands like the Byrds or Fairport Convention were doing with American and British folk.
I’ll play a track this week from Bahar alongside some of my Anatolian rock favorites, plus one from Richmond’s own Yeni Nostalji, who are mining a similar vein. Also this week: a continuation of last week’s exploration of Malian music — this time, three classic Malian female singers plus artists who’ll be at the Soiree Nomade in this year’s Festival Sur Le Niger. Plus some disco boogie African style to send you out dancing.
