Al compas del mundo - programa #91 - Soul and funk of the 70s

This playlist speaks for itself. Rufus kicks off and the list only improves: Mayfield’s Pusherman, Funkadelic, War and, of course, Marvin Gaye’s Inner City Blues. They’re all hits, actually, just some are better known and rose higher on the charts – those we were familiar with, at least. I can’t speak for the R&B ratings in Milwaukee, Detroit, Chicago, etc. (were “race records” still a thing then? Did something akin to that exist?) I don’t listen to much radio, other than that extraordinary streamer Radioactiva.TX. So if I’m flogging a dead horse and you’ve already heard some of these tunes for the third time today on oldies radio, forgive and forget. There’s a reason this music has survived as some of the “best of”. You haven’t heard them in this sequence and without commercials so relax your mind and go with the flow. And don’t forget your “apple hat”. - J.H.

Guitarras del mundo

Choosing music and writing about “the guitar” opens many doors. I could have gone off in any number of directions and with a singular narrow focus - but I didn’t. Instead, I threw a whole bunch of varied tunes against a wall to see which ones stuck. Sometimes there’s a continuity and other times none: just two aesthetically pleasing pieces that worked well in tandem and, hopefully, were preceded and followed with similar morsels. Usually, that is how these programs come together. I receive a divinely inspired revelation for a certain theme, region, or style of music and build it from there. Baden Powell, Brazilian beatnik poet and guitar master, seemed to me an obvious choice to begin the program. From there (as you can well see) we stick around Latin America a bit; segue into Spain, notorious as a guitar hotbed; head South to North Africa for the venerable Bombino (yes, again!) and more of that desert blues ilk; logically morph into a short blues set and settle at the bottom sid...

India y Nepal y Tibet

W here a human voice is heard in today’s program it’s often starkly different from what most Westerners might find pleasing and melodic. But I must remind my listeners that the West probably did not invent the concept of vocalizing as accompaniment to plucked/blown/percussed musical instruments. Why do we sing in the style that we do? I imagine there are knowledgeable tomes wrestling with that idea. I ’ve read that vocals were meant to imitate the sounds made by instruments...or vice versa? The chicken or the egg? I’m not here to answer that question, in spite of the college course I had taken of “Music Cultures of the World” decades ago. What I offer is the opportunity to pay attention to and digest musical expressions performed by people steeped in the traditional ways of their culture. T here is a geographic component to lumping together India, Nepal and Tibet as the Himalayas served to isolate and circumscribe the peoples of those northern regions. But here’s where I fud...
