Global A Go-Go presents:

One million

Global A Go-Go’s blog globalagogo.com has been around for 13 years now and it just hit a milestone: It has now had over one million page views. So a big thank you goes out to everyone who supports this program by listening to the broadcasts and podcasts, and by reading the blog and also my posts at wrir.org. One hundred billion views, here we come!

I have another all-African show for you this week (Sunday July 23, 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), inspired by an excellent and varied group of new releases of music from and inspired by that continent.

They include an unexpected trip to northern Ghana by Adrian Sherwood’s dub-inspired African Head Charge project; Immy Owusu’s new Afrodelik sound; another great reissue of highlife master Ebo Taylor; current Nigerian Afrobeat from Lagos Thugs and BANTU; the third Straight From The Decks compilation from one of my favorite global selectors, the French DJ named Guts; and an awesome compilation of Kenyan music that’s been adopted by the DJs of Colombia’s picó sound systems.
