The Second 2017 Case of the Night at Club Safari
It's been an unusually long time since I produced a set of music from Africa... today we are back to the Motherland, y'all.
Club Safari is my show theme devoted to Afro-Latin: sounds from West Africa that take influence from the musical forms of Cuba and the Caribbean. I've got a crate full of songs not yet played on the Adventures... gonna be a good day today.
As usual, we start out with some old-timey sounds; nothing too folksy today, we will be focused on pop sounds throughout the show. The next movement is dedicated to show favorites Franco & OK Jazz from The Congo, hearing several songs from a new compilation of this band's early material released on the tiny Planet Ilunga label. We wind up the first hour today with some soulful sounds that generally fit with today's theme.
I kick off the second hour today with an injection of straight Latin covers, before moving into some of my beloved slowjam boleros from Angola and the Congo. Then we send it off with a few uptempo dancefloor numbers to wrap up the show. Good to be back in Africa!!
