I have one more program looking back at the year 2023, then it's full speed ahead into the future on Global A Go-Go. I'd be remiss, though, if I didn't take a couple of hours to remember some of the great musicians from around the world who passed away last year.
Some of them received tributes on this show when they passed, like Baba Commandant, Stella Chiweshe and Ferus Mustafov. Others, like Shane MacGowan and Sara Tavares, I meant to recognize but just ran out of time to do so at year end. And others I didn't hear about until I sat down to research the subject.
Every song on today's show (Sunday January 7, 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) is performed by or otherwise directly associated with someone who died in 2023. All of these people made a lifetime's worth of brilliant music that the rest of us can enjoy in perpetuity, so let's enjoy the memory of their rich lives together this week.
