Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday April 5, 5-7 PM

The sound of Malian music in 2013 is edgy, aggressive, loud — not surprising if your peaceful country has undergone a military coup, a fundamentalist assault and a foreign invasion all within the last year.  This week on Global A Go-Go, you'll hear some current recordings coming out of Mali, including brand-new releases by Rokia Traore and by Bassekou Kouyate (pictured below in performance at the Richmond Folk Festival in 2011).

Also this week: tropicalia, Brazil's response to psychedelic rock; Trinidadian calypso and Garifuna paranda; and Celtic rock by non-Irishmen, including a well-known band from right here in Richmond.
