In addition, Orchestre Poly Rythmo manager Elodie, who was at the show, sadly informed me that saxophonist/leader Mêlomé Clément passed away in late December. So we feature a few from OPR in his memory.
DJ 12XU will be filling in for me next program, as I will be hobnobbing with the stars at Sundanc Film Festival.

I always wanted a solo free jazz bass exploration of the Top Gun theme, but I'll take this reggae version for now. Fun stuff.
I got a quick hang in with former Fela guitarist/Zozo Afrobeat bandleader Kaleta. He met up with me at A-1 Records to hand me his new 12", with Bosq of the Whiskey barons. here's a couple of Kaleta joints...
Akoya Afrobeat Ensemble w/ Cedric "Im" Brooks..."Jé Jé L'aiye"...President Dey Pass...(Afrobomb)
Bosq of Whiskey Barons w/ Kaleta..."More Heavy"...12"...(Ubiquity)
This Brooklyn-based band of fusioneers. In the tradition of Afro-Colombian sound systems, this live band mixes up many styles of music (afrobeat/funk/reggae/cumbia/punk/etc) into a real fun stew of addictive grooves. These guys are a fantastic party band primed for your town! I checked in with members of the band and copped both their vinyls...
MAKU Soundsystem..."MND (Music Never Dies)"...12"...(self released)
MAKU Soundsystem..."Naga Pedale"...Makumbala 7"...(self released)
I picked up the wax, but get yr immediate digital here, and at a steal of a price. Well worth the investment! Get these guys to your town!

The original version of the Quantic tune I've been loving for years. This collection on Analog Africa is full of Afro-Colombian gems.

This funky Ghanaian album should be in line for reissue, if you ask me.
