Things get sizzling quick tonight with an opening set of old-school and modern funk sounds from all around including brand new stuff from Chris Joss, The Whitefield Brothers, and the Record Kicks label out of Italy. Later we simmer with the Lou Bond reissue on Light in the Attic, & new tracks from Gil Scott-Heron & Georgia Anne Muldrow. Late-night Afrobeat finishes the recipe…
The Seven Ages of Man
Based upon Shakespeare’s “Seven Ages of Man” monologue from As You Like It, Evangeline Braaten and Kel Heyl present original poetry, spoken word, commentary and music.
The first ½ hour is a small retrospective of the Cuban composer Sindo Garay. The second ½ hour includes music from Ecuador y Colombia. The last ½ hour consists of music from Mexico and the final 10 minutes contain the reading of “La ley de Herodes”, a short story by the Mexican writer Jorge Ibargüengoitia.
