Global A Go-Go presents:
On February 5, Partisan Records released Stop The Hate, the tenth solo album by Femi Kuti, eldest son of Fela Kuti and in his own right one of the most important Afrobeat artists. On the same day the label also issued For(e)ward, the debut album of Femi’s son and Fela’s grandson Made Kuti. They’re also marketing the two as a 2-disc package called Legacy +.
This week on Global A Go-Go, the whole second hour is devoted to the Kuti musical legacy with tracks from Fela, Femi, Made and Fela’s other musician son Seun who now fronts his father’s old band, Egypt 80.
Also this week (Monday February 15, 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): women of the mbira, the best new Latin material that’s come across my desk this year, and the sounds of Trinidad’s carnival — you know, the one that’s not happening this year.
