Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday February 28, 2014

Global A Go-Go kicks off Mardi Gras weekend 2014 with a set of carnival tunes from the Crescent City, everything from Professor Longhair to Gypsyphonic Disko.  Hey, how about a Gypsyphonic Disko / Professor Longhair mash-up?  Coming right up.

The remainder of today's program will be devoted to North African music: "la guitare" from the Sahara, including a new album by Imarhan Timbuktu (who'll be performing in Richmond in March); soulful Ethio-jazz, featuring the latest by Canada's Souljazz Orchestra; and a brilliant new album by Alsarah (pictured above) & The Nubatones, playing what they call "East African retro pop."
