Radio Clandestino 2/18

As always, I had a great time delivering the sounds and appreciate your enthusiasm for the selections. Here they are:

Catch Radio Clandestino live every Monday 230-430pm (ET) at WMUA. 

Donald Byrd..."The Little Rasti"...Ethiopian Knights...(Blue Note)
With the recent passing of Donald Byrd, I had to dig out my favorite of his albums.

Craig Harris Tentet..."The Veil" (w/ Steve Coleman & Don Byron)...Souls Within The Veil...(Aquastra Music)
Recorded live at Atlanta's National Black Arts Festival 2003. Craig's project came to UMass this Thursday as part of the annual Magic Triangle series.

William Parker Violin Trio..."Scrapbook"...Scrapbook...(Thirsty Ear)
Fantastic trio with William, Hamid Drake and the late, great Billy Bang on violin (and studio dance moves I assume).

Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra..."Onze de France"...Last Odyssey...(Ubiquity)

Ramsey Lewis..."Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me & My Monkey"...Mother Nature's Son...(Cadet)
Produced by Charles Stepney, a whole album of Beatles tunes. But we won't necessarily hold that against them...especially since this one is such a delight.

Mustafa Özkent..."Üsküdar"...Gençlik Ile Elele...(Finders Keepers reissue)

Grupo Bota..."Shuss"...Boom!...(Discos Fuentes)

  
Grupo 2000..."El Destape a Los 2000"...El Destape...(Mass Trópicas)

MAKU SoundSystem..."Esclavo Moderno"...Makumbala bonus track...(no label given)
My 7" of this came with a download code for additional MAKU music. I just need more and more from this NYC-based ensemble. Get yours here.

Hot 8 Brass Band..."War Time"...The Life & Times...(Tru Thoughts)

Antibalas..."Dirt & Blood"...Liberation Afro Beat...(Ninja Tune)

Kina Zoré..."Va Gumulelana (No More War)"...
Thanks to Boston-based Kina Zoré for sending me some music to play and for coming out to perform in Northampton.

Henry Cole & the Afrobeat Collective..."No Eres Tu, Soy Yo"...Roots Before Branches...(self released)

Ariya Astrobeat Arkestra..."Blood in the Water"...Towards Other Worlds...(First World Records)

No-Nation Orchestra..."Fine Me The Savory Sound"...12"...(no label given)

Georgia Soul Council..."Bounce This"
Contemporary sounds from a group out of Georgia. The state. Not the country.

BOSQ of Whiskey Barons w/ Kaleta..."More Heavy"...12"...(Ubiquity)
