On Tropical Music by DJhamaradio

The world of Tropical music is an amorphous thing because it isnt quite a genre its more like a general umbrella term coined by Djs and collectors. It is music that is coming out of more forgotten none english speaking parts of the world, even through some of it is made in the English speaking world for none english speakers. I can also describe it as largely coming from the Caribbean, South America and Central America, and the west coast of Africa but this doesn't mean some exceptions don't exist for example Salsa is churned out from the American east coast, and we have cases of Japanese bands who can hold it down playing Calypso. Traditionally Tropical joints are not as lokced into a groove like most funk is so I wouldnt include Afrobeat or some of the more James Brown inspired African and Carribean fare which has been mined by collectors for years. The tropical world leans more on an African inspired swing that is pretty alien if you compared it to say a Meters record. It is music you really never hear in the USA unless you are at a Haitian home or a Puerto Rican home. Its music that represents completely different musical paradigm, one that most westeners would never encounter and wouldnt have a context to make sense of. One think that is a fact is that it is some of the grooviest most ecstatic dancefloor music. A Gwo-Ka song played in a Techno or House set creates such ecstacy and everything else pales in comparison. For tonights show, here is the playlist.

On last week's show we shared some of our favorites of salsa artists from the 60s, 70s, and beyond! With Latinx/Latine Heritage Month taking place now, we wanted to highlight this genre that originated in Caribbean and Latin American communities across many countries, including in the US, and quickly became popular internationally, especially in West and Central Africa. La Lupe aka La Yiyiyi aka La Reina de la Canción Latina aka The Queen of Latin Soul (pictured above) was an Afro-Cuban artist born in Santiago de Cuba. She became a well-known performer in Havana before moving to New York in the early 60s, where she released more than 20 albums (at least 5 gold albums) and worked with artists like Mongo Santamaría and Tito Puente. She had a huge repertoire that included salsa and so much more. For example, on her 1969 album "La Lupe Es La Reina", you can hear her classic bolero "Puro Teatro", an Afro-Cuban bembé celebrating her Santería faith "Guaguancó Bembe", and a cover of "That's The Way It's Gonna Be" written by protest/folk singers Phil Ochs and Bob Gibson. Talk about range! La Lupe was a daring artist whose music challenged expectations of her day, but she stood her ground and blazed her own trail ❤ Full Playlist: *Orquesta Revé "Ruñidera" [CUBA] *Pete Rodriguez "I Like It (I Like It Like That)" [USA/PUERTO RICO] *La Lupe "Puro Teatro" [CUBA] *Celia & Johnny "Quimbara" [CUBA/DOMINICAN REPUBLIC] *Johnny Pacheco "El Diablo" [DOMINICAN REPUBLIC/USA] *Rodolfo y su Tipica "La Colegiala" [COLOMBIA] *Grupo Niche "Cali Pachanguero" [COLOMBIA] *Joe Arroyo "Inocente" [COLOMBIA] *Sophy "Desordenados" [PUERTO RICO] *Yumuri y sus Hermanos "Mi Salsa Tiene Candela" [CUBA] *Celina y Reutilio "Santa Bárbara (Viva Changó)" [CUBA] *Mon Rivera y su Orquesta "Lluvia con nieve" [PUERTO RICO] *Pupi Legarreta "El Platanal de Bartolo" [CUBA] *Fruko y sus Tesos "Salsa na ma" [COLOMBIA] *Boncana "Descarga Boncana" [MALI] *Star Band de Dakar "Guajira Ven" [SENEGAL] *Gnonnas Pedro & His Dadjes Band "Azo N'Kplon Doun Nde (El Toro)" [BENIN] *Laba Sosseh "Diamoule Mawo" [GAMBIA] *José Missamou "Son sabrosito" [CONGO] #lalupe #queenoflatinsoul (at KCSB-FM 91.9 in Santa Barbara) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUTfF34KJsk/?utm_medium=tumblr

Entrevue avec Serge Tomondji, membre du Dadjes Band de Gnonnas Pedro (BÉNIN)

Serge Tomondji, artiste-chanteur et ancien membre du DADJES BAND de Gnonnas Pedro, nous raconte son expérience au sein de ce fameux orchestre bien connu et aimé de tous les béninois. Chanteur et multi-instrumentaliste, et auteur de chansons maintenant légendaires telles que "Yiri Yiri Boum", "Feso Jaiye", "Midho Miton", "Irma Koï", et bien d'autres, Gnonnas Pedro était un mélomane fini, reconnu pour sa fusion des sonorités funky et afro-latines à sa musique et pour son traitement novateur d'un des rythmes de chez lui, l'Agbadja, pour en créer l'Agbadja Moderne. Serge Tomondji s'est joint à ce groupe dans les années 80 et l'a cotoyé tout au long; il nous partage des anecdotes et des impressions de l'homme, de son orchestre, et de l'une des périodes les plus fécondes de l'histoire de la musique béninoise.
