Program August 20, 2010

It's great to be back after a one-week absence; thanks to Albert Green for sitting in for me.

Well, I haven't played much reggae lately, so how about a set of the hard stuff?  No pop, no style, just strictly roots, all from the 70s and 80s including a stone classic with Lee "Scratch" Perry (tanktop) at the controls, Max Romeo (white) behind the mic and the Upsetters (the rest of 'em) laying down the riddims.

And plenty more good stuff this week -- African singer-songwriters like Omar Pene and Nuru Kane, a great new band from Israel called The Apples, some electronic dance music from Africa and much more.
