Description
Glyn Phillips previews new albums & looks back at the year so far!
On this show: Chap Hop Diss from Steampunk Funker Montague Jacques Fromage III, Louisiana Soul, Trinidadian Calypso, East African Retro Pop, Franco-Korean Retro Pop, Sahrawi groove, French Ethio-Jazz and Afro-brass, Ghananian Seprewa, Hawaiian Bottleneck Blues, 1960s Cambodian psychedelia and some 1960s pre-afrobeat Fela Kuti.
A South African's take on West African kora music, A Cameroonian's take on Cuba-meets-Mandekan music, a Los Angelino take on Cuban changüí music, a German's take on Guinean music and some Italian acid lounge jazz!
I also take a more sober look back at the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge regime in 1970s Cambodia and make a link between the mass graves of Cambodia's killing fields and the more recent ones of Mexico and the 2014 Ayotzinapa massacre). All music has its context...
Oh! and also an old American folk chestnut, some current Americana and a Brazilian nod to the Rio Olympics too!
