Fakoly koumba, Fakoly daaba
The new releases are coming fast and furious in the first quarter of 2024, and I’ve been out of the office a lot so far this year for travel. So it’s time to catch you (and me) up on some of the best new music of the young year.
This week on Global A Go-Go (Sunday March 3, 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), it’s nothing but new releases: I’ve got reggae, Caribbean and Latin groovers, international brass bands, Mande music from West Africa (including two songs from Tiken Jah Fakoly’s new unplugged album Acoustic), new sounds from East and North Africa, and Afrobeat lined up for your listening pleasure.
