Music without borders, spring-summer 2025
Richmond’s home for music without borders is the Secret Planet Richmond concert series. Started in 2024, it brings cutting-edge international roots-based artists to Richmond, performances that ought to be happening all year round, not just at the Folk Festival.
Secret Planet Richmond has announced their Spring-Summer 2025 season, and on this week’s edition of Global A Go-Go (Sunday May 4, 1:00-3:00 PM on WRIR, for two weeks afterwards at wrir.org/listen, and any old time at my podcast site) you’ll hear from all the artists who’ll be visiting Richmond for this season’s series: Frente Cumbiero, Mourning [A] BLKstar, Orchestre Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp, Chicha Libre, Larry & Joe and Asmâa Hamzaoui & Bnat Timbouktou, and also from a couple of Richmond bands who will be opening for them.
