February 1st would have been Dennis Brown's 64th birthday, had he not passed away far too young in 1999. They called Brown "The Crown Prince of Reggae" and he was Bob Marley's favorite singer -- hell, he's the favorite singer of a legion of reggae fans. This week on Global A Go-Go I'll spin one of my favorite deep cuts from Brown's vast archive plus a killer version of one of his biggest hits.
Also this week (Monday February 1, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): the early days of champeta, spicy and annoying cumbia, the latest from La Mambanegra, makossa from Cameroon and Colombia, and another highlight of Orchestre Poly Rythmo's catalog.
