The Indestructible Beat of South Africa - Monday Night World Music

It was my good fortune and great pleasure to see the legendary Hugh Masekela in concert this past weekend. In honor of this magnificent musician and performer, tonight's Monday Night World Music features the music that influenced him and that he influenced in his turn - the indestructible beat of South African music.

From township swing jazz to township jive, from choral sounds to Soweto hip-hop, rock-pop, jazz-pop, and straight jazz - we'll cover the wide range of the sounds of South Africa. Apartheid-era legends like Miriam Makeba, the Mahotella Queens, and Ladysmith Black Mambazo; political pop pioneers like Juluka; modern superstars like Freshly Ground and Zola; and of course, Hugh Masekela - and more. It's going to be a great show.

Now entering chat range: The Funk

This evening Monday Night World Music brings you a diverse selection of funk and other danceable beats from around the world. The clubs of Nigeria burst into an explosion of funk after James Brown's famous visit to Lagos in 1970. His influence began with the great Fela Kuti and spread throughout Africa, continuing today in sounds as diverse as West African pop queen Angelique Kidjo and the street sounds of Kwaito coming out of South Africa. In the meantime, that infectious downbeat found its way into music from Latin America too, and even the Middle East and India were not immune.

So please come join us tonight, 6-8:30PM SLT, for a Funkalicious evening. You can join Carter in world at Madhu's Cafe Indien, or listen in on thap gump's main stream. Hope to see you there!Source URL: http://idontwanttobeanythingotherthanme.blogspot.com/search/label/Africa
