Global A Go-Go presents:
Gaye Su Akyol is a rock star in Turkey — and the rest of the world is starting to pay attention as well. She’s an outspoken advocate for the rights of women and queer people, but her lyrics are just ambiguous enough to keep her safe from Ergodan’s censors and enforcers. At least so far.
Musically, she and a whole generation of young artists are reviving Anatolian rock, Turkey’s home-grown psychedelic sound of the 1970s. Akyol has a new single and it’s her most forthright statement to date, both musically and politically. Tune in this week and hear “Isyan Manifestosu” (Rebellion Manifesto) on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Monday November 9, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): wild singing from three sides of the Black Sea, Ethiopian sounds, Latin remixes made for the dance floor, new music from Mali’s Nahawa Doumbia and a question: how fast can you dance?
