Global A Go-Go presents:
Funana for all
Funana is the accordion-based dance music of the badius, the escaped enslaved people who populate Santiago Island in Cabo Verde. It’s fast-paced and exciting, and dangerous enough that it was essentially illegal until the Portuguese left in 1975. This week on Global A Go-Go, you’ll hear three funana classics from the 80s and 90s that will get you some serious aerobic exercise.
Also this week: West African highlife, salsa dura from the USA and Colombia, a Balkan brassive attack, four songs the Garifuna Collective played during their visit to the Richmond Folk Festival, and a cool new female global-fusion duo from Berlin via Goa, India.
