Global A Go-Go presents:
Daniel Kahn (pictured above with his be-masked band The Painted Bird) is one of my favorite songwriters. What can you say about a guy who lists his musical influences as Nina Simone, Tom Waits, Tom Lehrer, Woody Guthrie, The Bad Seeds, Howlin’ Wolf, Brecht & Eisler, The Pogues and Leonard Cohen, other than “you need to hear his music right away”? And you will, this week on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week: Cesaria Evora’s music from beyond this mortal coil, new African sounds from Guy One and Seun Kuti, and Thailand’s rockin’ electric phin. Plus a song dedicated to my favorite actor in the current Trump reality TV show, Michael Cohen:
