Club Safari/Desert Fever
What sounds good to us as the sun begins opening the first cold buds of Spring...?
We turn back to Africa... with some new flavors:
The first hour of this adventure is another case of the Night at Club Safari--African pop music, with a focus on the 60s. This week, however, we are hearing a bit of saudade from Africa... bittersweet, dreamy, and sad, this is African music with a foot in Brazil. Appropriately, we will hear primarily from the Portugese speaking countries of Africa: Cape Verde and Angola... along with that, a handful of classic slow boleros from the Congolese wizard, Franco and his OK Jazz.
We normally plug in for Jungle Fever funk after Club Safari, but the sad twist on this episode takes us in a different direction. Today our second hour is the case of Desert Fever: slow and psychedelic manding music from Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso in the golden era 70s.
