sweeping across the Sahara
Music on
Sublime Frequencies in
last week's show. In particular from Group Inerane, the "now sound of the Tuareg Guitar Revolution sweeping across the Sahara Desert." They developed this political brand electric guitar music in Libyan Refugee camps. It's the electric guitars matched with traditional rhythms that take this to the next level for me. We're pretty head over heals for it all over the station as well as I think this has been getting a lot of spins!
Check out this video to see the real deal. Sadly the DVD is sold out.
We'll inevedibally hear more from that in tomorrow's show. More Balkan stuff as well (mostly remixed) as I delve further into my guilty pleasure of brass bands and making this completely a world music show. Balkan reggaeton mixes worked suprisingly well in the club the other night though...
And speaking of, thanks to everyone who came out to the Milky Way last Thurs. Another jump off this Thursday as Chrish Devlin and co
Shake em Down. Devlin on the mix is sure to be correct. Spank Rock is also gonna be there keeping the mic correct. And I'll be there keeping the speakers correct so come see what these Milky Way Thursdays are about if you haven't already! Catch you tomorrow night in the meantime.
