This program presents music from Cuba, old Mexican music (early 20th Century) and music from Argentina. The literature segment presents two texts by the Spaniard Manuel Rivas, read by the author himself.
Gearing up for a summer of great shows we heard a set of contemporary desert blues with tracks by Tinariwen and Bombino (coming to the Cedar in July) and Tamikrest (whose leader, guitarist Ousmane Ag Massa, first heard Tinariwen when he was five years old). Bill brought in some rare party music from Tanzania, Jojo shared some tracks from Kenya and Uganda, and we started off the whole thing with new music from two formidable sons of African superstars, Vieux Farka Touré and Femi Kuti.
“Ghetto Pocho Power featuring Rambo Salinas” We got this happy feelin on Radio Pocho tonight with the return of DJ Ren from New York. So to celebrate we drop some of our favorite cuts from NY.
We also invite Rambo Salinas of Hot Pants crew to share his favorite rolas. The next edition of Hot Pants is coming up Friday May 20th at the Nomad 9:30pm and on…
A special show tonight as we aired part 1 of the 5th annual “Around the World in 20+ Dubs” (originally aired 4-29 on Echo Beach at WLUW-FM, Chicago). Also tonight we featured new music from Springline Records and Dubmission Records, along with new selections from Liquid Stranger, Bedouin Soundclash, Professor, and Jamaram. And, in the final hour, DJ Baby Swiss did a “Roots of Dub” archive set.
