Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Wednesday February 24, 3-5 PM

I've been getting deep into Haitian music of late, and there's a new band from Haiti that I'm excited about.  They're called Lakou Mizik (pictured above); they're a nine-piece, multi-generational, multi-genre ensemble.  Lakou's debut album comes out in April; this week you'll hear their take on mizik rasin ("roots music" in Haitian creole) alongside three older Hatian combos.

Also this week: new Malian music from Rokia Traore and Adama Yalomba, current Afro-tronica by Baaba Maal and Luka Productions (as promised last week but pre-empted by my interview with Olivier Conan), and some reggae to get us started.
