Global A Go-Go presents:
It’s not often here at WRIR that we have two different covers of the same song on our world music recommended list at the same time; in fact, I don’t think it’s ever happened until now. So this week you’ll hear Fela Kuti’s “Let’s Start” as played by two Venezuelan bands: Phirpo Y Sus Caribes and Los Kings. Plus two covers of another Fela song by two Colombian bands, just because I can.
Also this week (Monday May 31, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards on the wrir.org archive player, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): conscious dancehall, new North African sounds by Moh Alileche and Natik Awayez, some rock en Espanol, Mdou Moctar’s new album and more desert blues, and coupe decale straight outta Abidjan.
