Episode 9: Check The Score

<< Tropicology
This is one of those weeks on Tropicology featuring music from all corners of the Tropicology spectrum: Africa, Brazil, and Latin America are all in the house today. These are songs drawn together by virtue of interesting or unusually sophisticated orchestration; from small groups to big bands, these are tracks that jumped out at my ear.
Today I am looking for unexpected pairings, such as clarinets from Brazil and Cape Verde, or spooky vamps from Ethiopia and Colombia.
