Program May 30, 2014

I've been thinking recently about summer jams -- you know, those songs that sound good coming out of a portable radio at the beach or the pool, as much confections as songs.  I've collected a few that are doing it for me this summer, and this week I'll share them with you on Global A Go-Go.

Also on this week's program: deeply dubby reggae; Latin swing, salsa and soul; and a roundup of today's hottest Afrobeat.
