GondwanaSound's Podcast show

Summary: Welcome to your latest round the world music adventure. Please donate to the Disasters Emergency Committee there's a link on the front page of the website and to concentrate our thoughts we open the broadcast with two Haitian tracks. One from Les Shleu Shleu a sixties dance band from Haiti, the precursor to all the retro tropical funk that's being dug up and reissued right now. We follow that with a stunning track from one of the best albums from last year Ti Coco and Wanga Neges' Haiti Colibri. Our album of the week comes from The Hut People and extraordinary combo of Percussion and Piano Accordian. Ever since we saw them at Musicport two years ago we've been waiting in anticipation for their debut album and we haven't been disappointed. Hope you enjoy the three tracks that we've picked out for you. With two new releases from Toureg artists,Nabil Othmani and newcomers and young pretenders for the Tinirawen crown, Tamikrest both with their own approach to Tamasheq music and beyond. Plus two tracks from two more exceptional dug up funk compilations two more exceptional albums for your collection. We hope you enjoy another eclectic round the world music adventure. You can buy what we're playing here and please spread the word we want more people to listen to all the wonderful global roots and grooves.
