Show #66- From Brazil to Africa (via the US & Belgium)
Got some new (to me) Brazillian tracks that I'm excited to play - check the dope Fafa de Belem track, and marvel how she never stops singing! Orquestra e Coro give us a funky version of Helio Matheus' 'Kriola', and then we move into the Afro funk. Er, rather African-sounding funk, made by non-Africans. There's the Lafayette Afro Rock Band (American, recorded in France) with 'Oglenon', Nico Gomez (Belgian) with 'Ritual', and finally the 2006 sounds of Nomo (Ann Arbour) doing 'If You Want'. It only seemed right to close the show with some music genuinely from Africa - Ethiopia's Getatchew Mekurya doing 'Yegenet Muziqa'.
