This is the week of April 8th, 2006
This week we investigate Brazil’s bossa nova with classics from Antônio Carlos Jobim, Tania Maria, Rosa Maria, Luiza and Astrud Gilberto plus modern updates from acustico-electro genius Suba, from Juryman and from South Africa’s Hugh Masekela. For good measure, we add to the mix Cuba’s preeminent hip-hop MC Telmary Diaz. And don’t worry. Neither your Spanish nor your Portuguese needs to be fluent to enjoy these offerings.

Satta Massagana, we give thanks six different ways with The Abyssinians, Ernest Ranglin, Johnny Clarke, Augustus Pablo, Peter Tosh and Third World. Nicholas Payton drops some red hot trumpet wah-wah. And Miles Davis and Nina Simone explore the feelings when a man is gone. This is a down and rootsy week.
