Global A Go-Go presents:
God is busy, may I help you?
Kultur Shock is the “other” pioneering American gypsy punk band, the one you might not have heard of yet. They were founded three years earlier than Gogol Bordello, in Seattle in 1996 by Bosnian immigrant Gino Yevdjevich. They’ve released eleven albums so far plus a boatload of singles; their latest 45 is for the Alternative Tentacles label, whose founder Jello Biafra of Dead Kennedys said “Kultur Shock is what punk rock should sound like.”
Kultur Shock’s brand new album is called Acoustic Live, recorded at Seattle’s Town Hall. Even unplugged, this band rocks harder than just about anybody, which you’ll hear this week when I play two songs from the new album on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Sunday October 29nd, 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): New Brazilian samba-soul from Rogê and Toco; Ladaniva’s Balkan beats via Armenia, Belarus and France; Victor Axelrod’s rocksteady has soul; the East African jazz and funk of Nègarit Band and The Scorpions; and the My Sahel Initiative brings six of that region’s top musical acts together to raise awareness and funding.
