Program November 1, 2013

Thank you to the 506 people who donated more than $40,000 so far during WRIR's Fall '13 Fund Drive.  It's been a great success once again, thanks to you the listener -- you make this station possible, and we're so grateful for your support.

I said "so far" for a reason -- we're happy to continue accepting your donations, and providing you with some awesome donor premiums, even thought the drive is officially over.  You can help take us to $41,000 and beyond by clicking and donating here:

And a special thank-you goes out to the 47 donors who named Global A Go-Go as one of their favorite WRIR programs.  I'm flattered, and I owe all of you a great program this week -- hell, I owe you a great program every week.

So here's what I'm doing about that: I'll be rocking a ton of new releases this week because it's the pre-Christmas rush, the busiest new-release season of the year.  I'll give first spins to Omar Souleyman (pictured above)'s first ever studio album, which is produced by Four Tet's Kieran Hebdon; the new one from Black Bazar of the Democratic Republic of the Congo; a wonderful 1970's reissue of Turkish folk-rock singer Alpay; Tal National from Niger; and Colombia's amazing Systema Solar.

You'll also hear recent releases from Aziz Sahmaoui, Rokia Traore and Andrea Echeverri, new reissues of Abelardo Carbono and Freedom Family, and tracks from the new Qat, Coffee & Qambus, Afrobeat Airways 2 and Red Hot + Fela collections.  It's a new-releases smorgasbord this week on Global A Go-Go.
