Global A Go-Go presents:

Gaye Su Akyol, the Patti Smith of Turkey, launches her first tour of the USA this month, including a stop on September 12 at Jammin Java, a coffee shop and listening room in a Vienna VA strip shopping center, right between a mattress store and a Walgreens. It seems like an ideal venue for Akyol’s surreal Anatolian rock — this is, after all, the woman who titled her 2018 album Consistent Fantasy Is Reality.

Unfortunately I can’t be there for what should be a mind-blowing presentation. But if you’re considering a road trip (and you should), give a listen to Akyol’s new single this week on Global A Go-Go. It’s a cover of Nirvana (and Shocking Blue too), in English and Turkish, released by Nirvana’s old label Sub Pop.

Also this week (Sunday September 3, 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): Ethiopia’s contemporary Azmari bards, more East African sounds from Somaliland and Sudan, Niger’s Etran De L’Aïr caught live, Cuban son montuno, and a Colombian champeta dance party.
