Cause and Effect

Chicha Libre

Sat, Jul 12, 2025

Bill from Global A Go-Go here, bringing you a special edition of WRIR’s Cause & Effect program this week (Saturday July 12, 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). What’s so special about it, you ask?

Well, first of all, Chicha Libre is performing on Saturday night at the Get Tight Lounge, with the Balkan psychedelic twang of Richmond’s Zarove opening for them. So this radio show should be an ideal pre-game situation for a Get Tight tailgate party. And for those of you who are considering whether to spend your evening at Get Tight, tune in and get the whole Chicha Libre story while you decide.

Secondly, Chicha Libre founder and bandleader Olivier Conan will join me live in the studio for this show. As you might already know, Cause & Effect is WRIR’s weekly program that focuses on a single band (or sometimes a genre or a time and place) and digs into their origin, development, influences, peers and the artists they’ve influenced, with a healthy dose of the band’s own music of course.

Rarely do we have the actual subject with us in person for a Cause & Effect episode. So tune in and hear the Chicha Libre story straight from the horse’s mouth. It’s a unique opportunity and should be a lot of fun.
