The folks at Secret Planet Richmond are back with two more live shows at the beginning of October. First of all, Yeison Landero y su Conjunto return to Richmond from Colombia for the third time this year. If you're a Global A Go-Go listener and you haven't seen them yet, I'm not sure what you're waiting for, because this is as good as cumbia gets. And if you know you know, in which case you'll probably be back for more. That's happening at Révéler Experiences on Wednesday October 1.
Then on Thursday October 9, Secret Planet Richmond presents Bongo District, also at Révéler. They're a band of immigrants based in the District of Columbia who call their sound ritmos nómadas: It's cumbia, reggae, funk, rock, ska and more. If that sounds a little like Manu Chao, you're in the right neighborhood. You'll hear the music of Bongo District and Yeison Landero on this week's edition of Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Sunday September 28, 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): More twangy South and East African guitar music off of 78 rpm discs, courtesy of three new compilations; brassy Colombian sounds from Bandejas Espaciales and Colectro; new Anatolian rock from Umut Adan & Zebânis; the return of America's finest Afrobeat band, Antibalas; and England's surprisingly funky Me and My Friends.
A podcast of this week's program will be available soon at radio4all.net/series/Global%20A%20Go-Go.
