Nice blend of afro-colombian-jazz-calypso-disco funk… feat new ones from Cedric Watson, Quantic, Soundway Records Columbia series, Los Sospechos, Cochemea Gastelum, Hidden Orchestra, Lloyd Miller Heliocentrics, and Los Charley’s Orchestra. Also a special track from Bobby Jackson, the unsung hero of the Minneapolis soul jazz scene…
The first ½ hour of this program is dedicated to the songs of María Teresa Vera, from Cuba. The second ½ hour includes a few pieces by Esteban (Steve) Jordan (who passed away last Friday). The third ½ hour presents “Huapango”, by the Mexican composer José Pablo Moncayo, and the folk music that inspired it. The last segment includes a few readings by the Guatemalan writer Augusto Monterroso.
