Thanks for joining us for another edition of Radio Clandestino. We were joined by our guests Danny Mekonnen of Debo Band (via live phone interview) and the silent DJ Harpo Marx, who brought some fabulous vinyl for your ear-stretching pleasure. Debo Band played a show at the Iron Horse this week (I missed it! Aargh!!). Thanks to our guests this week.
The status of Radio Clandestino is up in the air at the moment. I am awaiting word on a new time slot where I can start a whole 'nother thing. I'll keep you posted. But we've got at least one more program on Monday 230-430pm (EST) at WMUA.
Richie Havens..."I'm On My Way"...Richie Havens' Record...(Douglas)
Although I've never been much a a folkie, and Woodstock dosn't mean all that much to me...I still have to play something from the recently departed Richie Havens, who remains one of my all time favorite artists. RIP.
Angá..."A Love Supreme"...Echu Mingua...(World Circuit)
"A Love Supreme" was requested. So I obliged with the Angá Diaz version.

A selection by Harpo...
Raphe Malik..."Invocation: Spiel City"...The Short Form...(Eremite)

Another DJ Harpo jam, on a Madvillain tune.
Mats Gustafsson...untitled solo...Abet?! 7"...(Terp)

From the same project that she gifted us for her Divine Horsemen film, I had no idea that a record existed, let alone on groovy 33rpm 10". Cover art by her one-time husband (and composer) Teiji Ito.
