Global A Go-Go presents:
I wouldn’t say that I’m personally en super forme this week — more like just managing to get by. But the music on this week’s program certainly is en super forme. And especially this reissue of a 1982 album by one of Africa’s greatest and most underappreciated bands, Super Djata of Mali. You’ll hear a track from them, and one from a current Malian band who are definitely influenced by them: BKO.
Also this week (Sunday June 12, 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): a continuation of the Congolese jams that ended last week’s show, Afro-rap that most certainly isn’t Afrobeats, the barefoot diva and her heirs, and an assortment of new and old salsa.
