So I do a new "radio show" every week for my friends at Radio Nuclear, but I also post the shows to my website: If It Rotates. This week's show has a bunch of good stuff, most notably some funky tracks from Benin - that infectious King N'gom track that was on that Quantic / Monk One mix, and afro soul from Siagbo Dieudonne Eddie, with the Black Santiagos on back-up! All that and a reggae soul cover of Betty Wright's 'Tonight is the Night', Larry T, Tom Jones, Nicole Willis, and much more!If It Rotates.King N'gom - Viva MarvillasJuan Pablo Torres - Pastel en DescargaRay Barretto - Slo FloFire - Flight to CubaSiagbo Dieudonne Eddie - ToiLarry T and the Family - I'm Moving OnEarth Wind and Fire - Moment of TruthSusan from Sesame Street - The Counting SongNicole Willis - Feeling FreeStevie Wonder - Higher GroundTom Jones - The Lonely OneNicoletta - Le Grand AmourClaudette Miller - Tonight is the Night
