TODO MUNDO CUMBIA

Yes folks that's right, I am the Guest Host for DJ Andujar's "clandestino" radio show on WMUA next Monday, May 25th, 2009. The show is from 2:30 to 4:30, Eastern Standard US time zone, broadcasting from the UMass Amherst radio station WMUA, 91.1 FM. You can go to the station's web site, www.wmua.org, and stream the show live (no archives at this point), or if you can't listen 'live' on the computer or the radio, then click on playlists, and type in "clandestino", and you can see what I played. I will be selecting all the latest cumbias (ZZK, Bersa Discos, cumbia villera, cumbiaton, etc) as well as classic old school, new traditionalists, experimental, folkloric, and related genres like vallenato, chicha, porro, and champeta (different but still related!). Casting a wide net, we are! Clandestino, hosted by DJ Andujar, is a great show that concentrates on groove & rhythm, from funk to Latin, jazz to world. Many thanks to Andujar for giving me this opportunity. Don't miss it each week - he will be back June first. ¡Sabor de cuuuuuumbia!!

BONUS:
Here's a very cool video for you from Omar Souleyman!!

Cyclic Defrost

Here's a cool zine out of Australia that reviewed our compilation, "Afrobeat Revival", released in March on the World Music Network label, as part of the "Rough Guides" series.

I recommend checking out the zine here. This review is dated May 1, 2009 and is from issue #22.

From the zine:

This collection demonstrates that Nigerian icon Fela Kuti’s legacy is alive and well, the music he developed, an intensely political mixture of funk, hi life and African percussion with these trance inducing elongated instrumental parts, and call and response vocals still resonates in these difficult political times. Kuti’s drummer Tony Allen starts proceedings with his cheeky Crazy Afrobeat, taking a jazz funk angle that owes as much to Kuti as Herbie Hancock, given further weight due to the sleazy little instructions he murmurs occasionally as if Afrobeat is a hot new dance the kids will love. Move over Lambada, do “the Afrobreat,” instructs Allen. It’s a classic. Antibalas have been a long standing representative of the New York Afrobeat scene and their music is deep and funky with thick low horns and urgent tinkering percussion. Their 10 minute plus Government Magic whilst overtly owing much to Fela is also one of the highlights of this collection. Canadians Mr Something Something team up with Nigerian Afrobeat poet Ikwunga with one of the cleverest and overtly political songs on the album, whilst Massachusetts instrumental band The Superpowers highlight the funk aspects of early 70’s Fela, and it’s pretty food for white-boys. Almost without exception every track on this compilation is gold, though that’s what you get when you’re influenced by a musical deity. So special mention should go to the son of god, Seun Kuti who’s album Many Things is the most inspiring music I’ve heard this year, an angry slab of urgent Afrobeat that feels as raw and vital as any of his fathers work. Think Africa from said album, with Fela’s legendary backing band Egypt 80 attempts to highlight some of the social inequalities Africa is currently and possibly has always experienced. It’s intelligent aggressive and will no doubt make you go out and track down the album. Whilst the apple hasn’t fallen too far from the tree for Seun, Afrobeat has evolved and moved in new and curious directions and these artists are at the forefront and it’s an exciting time. This collection also comes with a complete bonus cd by the New York based Kokolo who integrated latin, reggae, Brazilian and dub influences into their unique take on Afrobeat.

Happy spring everybody!!!! We've got some excellent bands coming through Western Mass in the next few months, including a couple of my favorites, Grupo Fantasma and Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings.

Another quick plug:
Our "Afrobeat Revival" compilation, featuring Tony Allen, Antibalas, Seun Kuti, Femm Nameless, Kokolo, the Superpowers, Akoya, Chicago Afrobeat, Dele Sosimi and Mr Something Something with Ikwunga is available now. A survey of the contemporary international afrobeat scene, the disks were put together and annotated by DJ Bongohead and myself for the Rough Guides label out of London. It also comes with a free bonus album by Kokolo.
A second volume, "Afrobeat Revolution" will be out in July, featuring more Tony Allen, as well as Zozo Afrobeat, Dennis Ferrer, Ruth Tafebe, Lekan Babalola (remixed by Mark de Clive-Lowe), and many others. Both are double CD packages and both feature art by Fela's album artist Ghariokwu Lemi. They are available through most worldwide distributers. You could try here and here, for starters. Thanks for supporting great music.
