Breadfruit roasting on an open fire /
Mongrels nipping at your toes / Dancehall songs being sung by a choir /
An' we dress up in we bashment clothes
Yes,
nothing says "Deck the halls with lots of collie" quite like two hours
of Christmas songs from the Caribbean. Reggae, ska, dancehall, calypso,
soca, steelpan -- you'll hear them all on this special Christmas Day
edition of Global A Go-Go: Sunday December 24, 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.
Bill's
guest co-host is an even bigger reggae fan, Eric Walters of Wide Ear
Folk (alternate Tuesdays at 5 PM on WRIR). Together they'll be putting
the pum-pum back in rum-pa-pum-pum. Fun for the whole family, if you're that kind of family.
