Global Groove on WOMR

Traveling the globe in search of the groove. https://linktr.ee/globalgroove From dancing to Mbalax in Senegalese beer gardens, adventures continued.

your host DJ Pablo fell in love with the sounds of Africa while serving in the Peace Corps in Senegal way back in the early 1980s. Boating up the Boca Manu in the Amazon, stranding his zodiac at the Praia carnivale on the Cape Verdean island of Santiago, wandering the barren karst landscape of the Burren, feasting on fried grasshoppers in Oaxaca, hitchhiking back and forth to Quebec and selling Vi

etnamese Goi Cuon at the Cambridge River Fest before ultimately washing ashore in Wellfleet on Cape Cod. From all this wandering he developed a far ranging taste in music which he shares with listeners on the Global Groove: on any given show you’ll hear Jungle Cumbia from 1970s Peru, Malian desert blues, Garifuna tunes from Belize, Moroccan trance, Congolese Soukous, Cape Verdean Morna and all kinds of other groovy music.

Two opportunities to tune in this coming week. Sunday August 11 6 to 9pm (Cape Cod Time) I am filling in for Africa Oyé host Sam Holmstock who is getting a well deserved break. Then Friday August 16 5-7pm for my regular Global Groove slot.

This beautiful painting is by Connecticut artist Nora Hillman (and high school friend) and I just love her work and think it fits so well with the vibe of the music I play.

The Brazilian Invasion. Before the British Invasion, before the hippies, there was a new wave of cool originating in Brazil and washing across North America and the world. At its core is the rhythm of Samba, the batucada. Expressed on the guitar. Smooth music to cool you off on even the hottest summer evening. The Bossa Nova. New Wave. This week on the Global Groove let’s ride that wave. Global Groove full moon Bossa Nova edition. 5pm Friday.

Early Father’s Day tribute this Friday night June 7 at 5pm Eastern. “Larry Greenspan’s HiFi” will feature the music my dad played in our living room in North Massapequa back in my formative years in the 1960s. Sergio Mendes, Stan Getz, Miriam Makeba and Harry Belafonte. Babatunde and Yma Sumac. My mom putting out baked stuff clams and cream cheese wrapped in salami, dad mixing up a pitcher of daiquiris, and the first record dropping onto the turntable signaling the start of the cocktail party. I went to bed dreaming about the model on the cover of “Whipped Cream and Other Delights”

Unlike the ‘Exotica’ craze of the previous decade, this music was not the ersatz global schmaltzy lounge music of Martin Denny and Esquival; this music was genuine and musically complex, helped me make my first real connections with the wider world and spawned a lifelong love of foreign travel and different cultures.

This Friday night February 16 5pm Cape Cod time is Groove on Outermost Radio. This week it’s the annual Carnivale Road Trip…a musical tour to some musical destinations where the sound of drums get you masked and in your dancing shoes and moving. Then how about celebrating the music of Cote D’Ivoire, after Les Elephants just won the Africa Cup (thats football, or soccer to those this side of the big drink) It may be snowy out here at the tip of the glacial moraine, but we got some warm tunes for cold days.

So The Monkees don’t really fit into the Global Groove genre, but they were part of the soundtrack of my youth and I have collected several fun facts I can share with you. 1. Peter Tork, whose birthday would have been today, lived in Mansfield, Connecticut where I went to college and where his father was economics professor 2. Michael Nesmith, the wool hat guy and actual good musician, well his mother was a secretary who invented WhiteOut and eventually sold it to Gillette for $47.5m and 3. Ok this is the weirdest. Micky Dolenz (still alive) was a child actor in early TV show Circus Boy and here, on this cover of a fanzine, appears to be dressed as a N**i Youth, smiling at the giant pe*****le clown with enormous feet as they sit on bails of straw. Happy Wednesday everyone.
