One of my favorite bands in the world is coming to Richmond for the first time ever on May 28. And I see I'm not the only Frente Cumbiero fan around -- it looks like the Simpsons creator Matt Groening is one as well.
You might become one too after you hear my concert preview this week on Global A Go-Go (Sunday May 25, 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). I'll play several songs from Frente Cumbiero's great new album Inconcreto & Asociados, one from their equally outstanding previous album Cera Perdida, plus tracks from a few of the various projects that Frente Cumbiero bandleader Mario Galeano has worked on over the last fifteen years.
Continuing last week's theme, I'll have a lot more new music once again: roots reggae from Abijah, a roots reggae reissue of Culture, and Bounty Killer and King Jammy's remake of a Sugar Minott classic; soulful samba by Seu Jorge and Uli Costa e Sandália de Prata; new Anatolian rock from Meral Polat, Derya Yıldırım and Şatellites; and a whole set of scorching tsapiky music from southwest Madagascar.
