Global A Go-GoGlobal A Go-Go: Friday June 15, 5-7 PM

What's new in the world of world music this week is — palm-wine.  Yes, an entire musical genre named after an alcoholic beverage (someone tell Josh Sturgill right away), it was popular across West Africa in the 1950s and it's being brilliantly revived by Ghana's Koo Nimo (pictured above) on a delightful new recording.

Also this week: psychedelic, psychotropic cumbia from Peru and beyond; the Sahara's deepest blues; rock 'n roll from France in French, Occitan and Arabic.
