Global A Go-Go presents:
Maximum enjoyment
Producer and anthologist Lucas Silva likes to call his home country of Colombia “the Soukous Republic of America.” Indeed, Congolese soukous is perhaps the most central element of champeta, the syncretic music of urban Afro-Caribbean Colombia (especially the cities of Cartagena and Baranquilla) that Silva has been championing for more than 20 years.
This week on Global A Go-Go, you’ll hear a set of guarapo, the sub-genre that features DJs remixing specifically Congolese discs. As with everything in the world of champeta, the goal is vacile efectivo: that’s slang for “maximum enjoyment.”
Also this week: the first edition of Sahel Sounds’ Music From Saharan WhatsApp, some vintage early 80s Afro-pop, a set of lovers rock for Dennis Brown’s birthday, new Peruvian chicha via Belgium, and the superb new album by Antibalas.
