Global A Go-Go presents:
The swinging 60s happened all over the planet, even in Ethiopia, one of the world’s most tradition-loving and inward-focused countries. We’ll visit the Swinging Addis of the 60s and 70s on this week’s edition of Global A Go-Go with five Ethio-oldies from that wonderful era.
Also this week (Monday April 12, 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): progressive folk music from Eastern Europe, new desert blues by Les Filles De Illighadad, the Senegambian kora, West Africa’s funky Afropop and funana from the island nation of Cabo Verde.
