Global A Go-Go

Les jaloux saboteurs

Sun, Mar 19, 2023

It’s highlife time once again on Global A Go-Go with a new album from Okwy Osadebe, son of one of the biggest stars of 1960s and 70s Nigerian Igbo highlife, plus a track from a new compilation of Burger-Highlife made by Germany’s Ghanaian immigrants in the 80s and 90s. And we’ll expand from there into Cameroon and Chad, turning the whole second hour into a giant African guitar music dance party.

In this week (Sunday March 19, 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) ‘s first hour, you’ll hear the pioneers of Berber rock, a new single from Zimbabwe’s Mokoomba, a dub version of one of Fela Kuti’s most famous songs, and of course much more.
