Global A Go-Go presents:
Conjunto Media Luna from Bogotá Colombia describe themselves as anachronistic. Yes, they play cumbia in Andrés Landero’s traditional format of accordion, bass guitar and two percussionists. But they grew up listening to metal, punk and hip-hop, and they also incorporate synthesizer, sampler and drum machine. They’re not anachronistic; they’re post-modern. Hear for yourself this week on Global A Go-Go.
Also on this week’s nearly all-Latin show (Sunday June 11, 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): Free hop, Cuba’s alternative rap scene; some smoking 70s salsa; Cienfue’s tropical psychedelia; Brazilian samba-soul from 1970 (Juca Chaves) to today (Rogê); and Persian cumbia from Peru’s Dip In The Dub.
