Global A Go-Go presents:
With live music gradually returning to Richmond’s stages, I’m joined in WRIR’s Studio A this week by Andy McGraw and Hannah Standiford of the music and art collective (and long-time Global A Go-Go fave) Rumput, who are Richmond’s first, only and therefore best Indonesian keroncong string band.
Andy will tell us what Rumput has been up to during the pandemic, we’ll play some of Rumput’s new recordings, and he’ll talk about the band’s first performance in many moons, coming up Monday September 13 at the Firehouse Theatre.
Also this week (Sunday September 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): another tribute to an African musical genius gone too soon, Barthelemy Attisso of Orchestra Baobab; more burners from the Islamic Funk Belt; new chicha by Los Chapillacs and Money Chicha; and a big ol’ Balkan brass throwdown.
