Global A Go-Go presents:

Welcome to an encore edition of Global A Go-Go. Today’s program was originally broadcast on October 10, 2021 during the Richmond Folk Festival. It features an interview with reggae singer-songwriter Taj Weekes, who was in town performing at the Festival.

I’ve been doing this show for almost 18 years now, and I think Taj Weekes might be the most interesting person I’ve ever interviewed on Global A Go-Go. We get into some pretty heavy topics, way beyond what I’d expect from the normal artist interview. So tune in — I think you’ll enjoy this classico episode.

Also this week (Sunday February 6, 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): an all-Latin second hour with electronica, cumbia and chicha, including several releases that would end up on my Best of 2021 lists.
