Episode 7: Brass in Pocket
12:00pm, 8-11-2019
<< Tropicology
Today’s show is going to sample music from all the corners of the Tropicology musical universe… we will hear from Africa, Brazil, Cuba, and the Antilles on today’s show. This will be a dedication to horn lines around the world: descarga and guaguanco from Cuba, highlife from Nigeria, Afro-Pop, Haitian big band and West Indies Biguine, wrapping up with a slick run of horn-driven Brazilian boogie. But we are not going for big band exotica or a loud sound today; we are going to keep this cool, just a summer simmer, very much in pocket…
