This is the week of July 2nd, 2006
A Tribe Called Quest—remix time (including 5 different Bonita’s)! Brazilian drum fiesta featuring Sergio Mendes, Bahia Black, Forror in the Dark with Seu Jorge, Gilberto Gil, and Marcos Suzano. Rounding out the week is Dizzy Gillespie with Chano Pozo, plus a Funky Lowlives remix, and a Cuban field recording demonstrating some of the source material for Dizzy’s "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac." If you’re not dancing to this week’s extended jukebox, it must be because you can’t dance!
