African / Latin / Polish Music mix

Sooks

Hi everybody, I just wanted to post a little reminder about a little funk / groovy music show that I do online every week called If It Rotates. This week's show #24 has some latin music (fans of Roberto Roena's 'Que Se Sepa' should definitely check out Conjunto Universal's version), some african music, and a touch of Polish music (this Bemibem track is great) - I really like these songs. The show can be downloaded in mp3 format. Here's the tracklist:Cortijo & His Time Machine - Carnaval Hector Rivera - I Want A Chance For Romance El Nuevo Conjunto Universal - Que Se Sepa Bemibem - Podaruj Mi Troche Slonce Pedro Ruy Blas / Dolores - El Jaleo Hugh Maskekela & Hedzoleh Soundz - Languta Feso Trombone - Beginning of the End T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo de Coutonou - Kou Tche Kpo So O Marijata - Mother Africa Pierre Akendengue - Sesi

Do you know his other album, La Puerta Abierta? I've often wondered what that's like.

Just thought I'd use this existing thread to mention this week's show - it's a bit all over the map, from funk 45s, to Alan Tew, to Brazillian Jazz to Eddie Russ... lots of great songs on here, including some softbatch Brazillian tunes (Quinteto Ternura, Antonio Adolfo) that I finally confess to liking. You can listen to it every week at If It Rotates.

Here's the tracklist:

Mickey and His Mice - Cracker Jack
The Family - Family Affair
The Friends of Distinction - Grazing in the Grass
Gerald Faulk - Express Yourself
Ginger Ale - Gin Fizz
Bullet - The Contract Man
Quarteto Novo - Vim de Santana
Mario Castro Neves & Samba S.A. - Vem Balancar
Elis Regina - Bala Com Bala
Quinteto Ternura - Baby
Antonio Adolfo & A Brazuca - Juliana
Brigitte Bardot - Tu Veux Ou Tu Veux Pas
Flora Purim - Open Your Eyes You Can Fly
Eddie Russ - Take A Look At Yourself
