New York City-based Congolese band Loboko are coming to Richmond's Révéler Experiences on Saturday October 26. You'll hear Loboko's music this week on Global A Go-Go, alongside other bands playing the awesome contemporary Congolese guitar-driven dance music called sebene.
(Just as a heads up, Loboko will also be my in-studio guest on WRIR's Cause & Effect program on the afternoon of October 26, during WRIR's Fall 2024 Fund Drive. I'll be interviewing the band members at that time, and they'll also take over the show, spinning some of their favorite recordings, Congolese and otherwise, and maybe playing their own unreleased recordings too.)
As for the rest of what I'm playing this week (Sunday October 13, 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), you'll hear more great African guitar music including a reissue of classic 1980s Congolese rumba by Nyboma and some smoking funaná from Cabo Verde by Eliseo Gomes & Joaquim Valera, plus a newly discovered qawwali recording by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, the new single by Richmond's own Miramar, and The Bongo Hop's hot new French Caribbean-style track.
