Global A Go-Go presents:

Gateway to the blues

I spent the last three weeks of 2020 on Global A Go-Go reviewing my favorite new albums, singles, compilations and reissues of the just mercifully departed year. But there are still a few items I want to bring forward, and I’ll spread them throughout this week’s program (Monday January 4, 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).

For instance, I’ve only played a few tracks so far from my favorite new album of 2020, Nayda! by Bab L’Bluz; I’ll remedy that situation by a spinning a whole set from that disc. You’ll also hear Anatolian rock both old and new, some Sudanese funk, and a whole hour of Afrobeat and Afro-funk including tracks from three of my favorite compilations and reissues of 2020.
