If you're a frequent Global A Go-Go listener, you're probably aware of my ongoing obsession with reggae versions: songs originally from other genres repurposed inna Jamaican stylee. And the more unlikely the cover, the better.
This week I'm fully engaging my obsession by devoting the first hour of the program entirely to reggae versions of songs you'll hear on classic rock radio: you know, Classic Rock 96.5 in Richmond, Channel 26 Classic Vinyl on SiriusXM, that kind of thing. There's a lot of this type of material out there! Some of it is actually good! Those are the ones I've selected (or at least tried to select) for you.
Also this week (Monday August 2, 3:00-5:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards on the wrir.org archive player, check your local listings for airing on other radio stations, and any old time at my podcast site): an all-Latin second hour with new music by Quantic & Nidia Gongora, a set of left-of-the-dial cumbia and a set of Peruvian chicha.
