Algo salvaje

This was scheduled to be a triumphant week for Richmond's guardians of the global groove, Afro-Zen Allstars.  The release party for their second album was scheduled for January 28 and I was hoping to lure bandleader George Lowe into WRIR's Studio A to talk about the new record.
 
But the COVID gods had other plans, so both of those events will have to be postponed.  Instead, I'm going to introduce the new album to those of you who haven't heard it yet by playing three of its tracks on Global A Go-Go.
 
Also this week (Sunday January 23, 1:00-3:00 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): thinking person's salsa, three Malian songbirds, a deep dive into West Africa's authenticité era, 1970s Anatolian rock heavy on the psych and Get In The Garage, Global A Go-Go's periodic excursion into garage rock, focuses on Spain.
