Global A Go-Go presents:
I’m happy to be back in WRIR’s Studio A this week for the first time since the first week of January, doing radio the way the good Lord meant for it to be done: live and in person. Don’t worry, it will still sound fine as a podcast too.
Once again I’m catching you up on lots of new music. This episode’s finds include an Israeli band playing Turkish psych, a song about imposter syndrome that channels garage rock and rock en español at the same time, a reissue of Brazilian samba-funk that was way ahead of its time in 1969, what happens when a jazzy jam band plays Moroccan gnawa, one of the best Afropop tracks I’ve heard in a long time, and yet more new Igbo highlife from eastern Nigeria.
Got your curiosity up? Good, then join me this week: Sunday April 17, 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.
Update: Well, it looks like it won’t sound fine as a podcast, because WRIR’s archiver (the computer program that records all of our live-produced shows as we’re broadcasting them) crashed this weekend. So there’s no recording of this week’s show, and there will be no podcast this week. Bummer! But you can find all of my old podcasts here: radio4all.net/series/Global%20A%20Go-Go
