Yeison Landero, grandson of the legendary Andrés Landero and keeper of the flame for Colombian cumbia campesina, played here in Richmond in January. If you saw him and his conjunto then, you know they are a peak musical experience, maybe the best cumbia band in the world right now.
And if you didn't see them then, you're getting a second chance. Yeison Landero y su Conjunto bring their Cumbia Sin Fronteras tour to the Get Tight Lounge on Thursday July 3, the first night of the Independence Day holiday weekend. This week on Global A Go-Go, I'll get you acquainted (or re-acquainted, as the case may be) with Yeison's music, including spinning his brand new single.
Also this week (Sunday June 29, 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): Some Afropop, including the latest from from Cheikh Ibra Fam and Amadou & Mariam; new highlife and Afrobeat by Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, Femi Kuti and Afrodream; the Malian sounds of Salif Keita and Trio Mokili; the first new music in nine years from Mauritania's Noura Mint Seymali; and tsapiky, the blistering dance music of southwest Madagascar.
