Iquitos, the capital of the Peruvian Amazon with half a million residents, is the largest city in the world that can't be reached by road. It's been a hotbed of chicha and Peruvian cumbia since the 1960s, and on this week's edition of Global A Go-Go you'll hear four bands that originated in Iquitos, including Ranil y su Conjunto who are the subject of a new compilation album from Vampisoul Records.
Also this week (Sunday September 14, 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): An all-South American first hour with Brazilian samba-soul including a newly reissued single of Trio Ternura, and Colombian champeta highlighted by a deeply-dug 1992 track by Q.A.P. Band; more music from the Anatolian rock revival like the new single from Eje Eje; the latest in Afropop by Habib Koité's Mandé Sila, Amadou & Mariam and Star Feminine Band; and some Afrobeat to close out the show, including a new cover of Fela Kuti's "Zombie" by Kotoa, an Afrobeat-dub band from South London.
