Global A Go-Go presents:
What’s in the water in Nana (tildes over both N’s, please), Peru? I dunno, but that small city about 20 kilometers east of Lima along PE-22 (La Carretera Central or Central Highway, the main road connecting Lima to the high Andes and the rainforest) produced several outstanding bands playing chicha or Peruvian cumbia. They all had the town’s name in them, and they all featured Teo Laura (pictured above) on guitar.
You’ll hear three bands from Nana on this week’s program, in a set of chicha from that unlikely music capital and from the selva. Also this week: folk-rock from Turkey and the former Yugoslavia; Le Super Djata Band Du Mali and its acolytes; and the sound of Seun Kuti & Egypt 80, who are playing in DC tonight.
