Once tejones
Hot Secret Planet Richmond Summer continues in mid-July in two quite different flavors. On Saturday July 12, Chicha Libre, the Brooklyn band that brought Peruvian-style psychedelic cumbia to worldwide recognition, returns to Richmond for the first time in 12 years to play at the Get Tight Lounge.
And on Tuesday July 15, Larry & Joe bring their unique mix of Venezuelan joropo and Appalachian bluegrass to Révéler Experiences. To help you decide if you’d like to spend an evening with either or both of them, you’ll hear several selections from both Chicha Libre and Larry & Joe this week on Global A Go-Go.
Also this week (Sunday July 6, 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): New music from Mali by Habib Koite’s Mandé Sila and Hawa & Kasse Mady Diabaté; vintage African sounds from two excellent new compilations: Music For a Revolution Vol. 1 and Edna Martinez Presents Picó; Trio Kazanchis + 1 and Trio Mokili expand the boundaries of Ethiopian music; and a rediscovered recording of the classic Ethio 70’s Ibex Band.
