Global A Go-Go presents:
Cacerolazo
Nkumba System is a band with members from three continents: South America (Colombia), Africa (Cameroon) and Europe (France). And their music is as polyglot as you might suspect: cumbia and makossa, currulao and soukous and a whole lot more.
Their album Bailalo Duro! was my favorite new release of 2021. (It actually came out in November of 2020, but who’s counting?) But somehow I only played three of its songs on Global A Go-Go all year. This week we remedy the situation by spinning four in a row from Bailalo Duro!
Also this week (Sunday January 16, 1:00-3:00 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): a deep dive into South African jazz, some jazzy calypso, Brazil’s BaianaSystem and a bootleg mashup of Fela and Santana.
