Global A Go-Go presents:
Let me introduce you to my favorite band of this moment. They’re from London and they play Afrobeat the way Fela Kuti intended: as a weapon. The name of this band is Eparapo (“Join Forces” in Yoruba), they’ve released three songs so far and you’ll hear all three of them this week on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Sunday September 19, 1:00-3:00 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): women of Afrobeat; a continuation of last week’s big ol’ Balkan brass throwdown; East African sounds; a tribute to “the Ethiopian Elvis,” Alemayehu Eshete, who passed away on September 2; and new Latin sounds from Japan (!).
