Global A Go-Go presents:
Nicotiana
Rumput is quite possibly the most unique band in Richmond: they specialize in keroncong, Indonesian string band music. They’re also unusual in that they’re a true multimedia endeavor, with original visual art in the form of wayang (Indonesian shadow puppets) and crankies (Appalachian scrolling panoramas) integrated into their performances.
Their next performance is on Tuesday February 18 at the Firehouse Theatre (more info here), where they’ll be rolling out (pun intended) a new crankie on the subject of the ongoing deadly colonial history of tobacco. Two Rumput members, musician John Priestley and visual artist Beth Reid, will join me in the studio Monday to talk about the band, their upcoming gig and the surprising parallels between Virginia and Indonesia.
Also this week: a tribute to Joseph Shabalaba, cadence from the French Caribbean, classic 1970s salsa dura, the marimba music of Colombia’s Pacific coast, and more funana from Cabo Verde.
