Artist Track Comments
Big Guitars from Texas  Breaker   Favoriting I've been using this one CD for almost 20 years on WFMU as my intro; I rotate tunes, though I favor some more than others-- like this one 
Dafnis Prieto  Conga en Ti   Favoriting Cuban-born drummer now lives and works in NYC; check him out 
Cubanismo  Meta y Guaguanco   Favoriting Yosvany Terry, who now plays with Dafnis Prieto, was a member of Cubanismo-- a band based on the music of the great Aresenio Rodriguez 
Coco Lagos  Descarga Yala Yala   Favoriting From a collection of Peruvian boogaloo called "Gazolo! Bugalu Tropical" from Vampisol 
Timbalada  Beija-Flor   Favoriting This hot number from Brazil leads off 2nd "Mambo Inn" compilation; Carlinhos Brown had something to do with the tune 
Wando  Negaq de Obalude   Favoriting From "Brazilian Beats 2" on Mr. Bongo 
Bebel Gilberto  Tranquilo   Favoriting Joao's daughter does too many breathy vocals for me on her new album but this tune-- with Orquestra Imperial-- swings 
Astrud Gilberto  Beginnings   Favoriting RevOla put out an album (called "September 17, 1969") with Joao's ex-wife covering pop hits. This one (mostly) works 
Caetano Veloso  Odeio   Favoriting "I hate you" says Caetano, amid the dolphins and blue sea. A snappy odd tune from "Ce" (Nonesuch, 2006) 
Bill Frisell  Yala   Favoriting Amazing guitar from "The Intercontinentals" (Nonesuch, 2003) 
Tinariwen  Cler Achel   Favoriting The Tuareg-- nomads of the Sahara-- make great music; from "Aman Iman: Water is Life" (World Village)

Fatafit  Menta Malak   Favoriting Egyptian pop. Sounds good, no? 
Hamza El Din  Ollin Azageed   Favoriting The master of the oud died last May; I saw him perform at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival. This tune is from his 1988 "Eclipse" album, on Rykodisc. Produced by Micky Hart, this is a wonderful introduction to Nubian music. 
Rene Lacaille & Bob Brozman  Place D'Youville   Favoriting This multi-insturmentalist from Reunion Island, near Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, plays sweet music-- here with help from Bob Brozman. 
Experience 7  Goudjoua   Favoriting Music from the island of Guadaloupe, on "Planet Zouk: The World of Anitlles Music"

  Interview with Cajun rocker Zachary Richard, originally broadcast on WFMU, 1989. Recorded backstage at the now defunct (and sadly missed-- esp. the armadillo? lizard? on the roof) Lone Star Cafe in NYC. Richard has a new album on Musicor, his first in a decade: "Lumiere Dans le Noir"
Zachary Richard  A La Radio   Favoriting Except for the last minute or so, the song runs behind the interview. Sorry; it's a great tune
