Program April 8, 2011

I think Record Store Day (this year, it's on Saturday April 16) is the new Christmas -- all the best new releases are timed to have maximum holiday impact.

As a result, you'll be hearing plenty of brand-new music this week on Global A Go-Go: Balkan-meets-dub from La Cherga, Geoff Berner's klezmer-folk-protest songs (sounds unlikely, but they're absolutely brilliant), desert blues by Bombino and Femi Kuti's afrobeat.  Plus another great project from the folks at Strut -- the pioneering Afrofunk recordings of Ebo Taylor, most of which have never previously been released outside of Ghana.
