Pan-African Hour: Star Trek (April 20 and 27, 2011)

2011-05-03T14:55:00.002-04:00

The end of an era! As Sassafrass prepares to leave to Alberta we have two radio shows left prior to his departure, so we execute a long spoken of desire to do a live radio play spoofing Star Trek! Enlisting Alberta Bertha from Eat My Country to help with the voice acting, we cobbled together two episodes worth of script and music...almost. Both scripts actually fell short of filling up a full hour, so we improvise at the end of both episodes. Sasparilla does both soundeffects and voice acting, leading to a few awkward pauses here and there. Overall, not the most polished radio play you'll ever here, but definitely funny in it's amateur production and ridiculous plot.

Pan-African Hour: New African Music (April 13, 2011)

2011-05-03T14:18:00.002-04:00

On this episode we decided to showcase some of the new music that is coming out of Africa, since we tend to play a lot of old stuff, though we also play some new compilations of old music. Most exciting here is the reflection of a new market for African music that has opened up in the West. The original World Music market was made up of baby boomers that got into modified African music with cheesy pop production. But record labels like Strut, Soundway, Souljazz, Analog Africa and others are showing the existence of a new market that is more into African music from the 60s and 70s, music by Africans for Africans, without any of that cross-over production style! And this has allowed old acts such as Ebo Taylor and T.P. Orchester Poly-Rythmo to come back and access the international market for the first time. This episode showcases these new efforts from old legends, and some new comps from record labels that have helped create the new market. Also featured is Afrocubism, who reflect the late 90s trend to move away from pop production and go toward a more acoustic sound, a trend that appeals to the both the old and new markets.

Jovens Do Prenda - Farra Na Madrugada
Orchestre Polyrhythmo de cotonou - Pardon
Ebo Taylor - Mizin
Afrocubism - Al Vaiven De Mi Carreta
Rosendo Y Su Banda - Me Voy Pa'La Costa
Elis Regina - Roda

Pan-African Hour: Desert Guitars (April 6th, 2011)

2011-05-03T13:59:00.002-04:00

Sublime Frequencies has been releasing some killer albums of electric guitar music from groups based out of the Saharan desert, such as Group Inerane, Group Doueh and Group Bombino. It all started when Tinariwen, a group of Tuareg musicians, decided to go electric guitar styles instead of their regular acoustic instruments. Since then a distinctive style of Saharan rock has been developing, which was also party anticipated by the work of Ali Farka Toure. Also included here is Moudou Ould Mattala, whose style is closely related. This is one of the most interesting developments that we know of coming from Africa these days and is a must check out. The style is an incredible blend of West Africa meets North Africa.

Moudou Ould Mattalla - Improvisation
Ali Farka Toure - Inchana Massina

HHSOPB: Hip Hop Roulette

2011-04-19T21:05:00.003-04:00

Originally aired Sept.26th 2010 in Edmonton, AB on CJSR 88.5fm in Edmonton. It's Hip Hop Roulette, meaning Ranking B made a playlist containing at least one artist from every country ever played on HHSOPB, put it on random, and left it to play. Might seem like a lame concept, but the music in this show sure speaks to the hypeness that is the worldwide Hip Hop movement.

Pan-African Hour: Dub (March 16, 2011)

2011-03-18T17:08:00.001-04:00

Dub is a style that developed in early 70s Jamaica. Using the master recordings of reggae songs (which could be separated into separate tracks), Dub artists would create a new song by playing with the sequencing of tracks and adding effects to tracks. In essence, Dub was the first example of re-mixing, or at least the earliest example that we know of. It certainly is one of the first examples of being creative with recorded music in popular music, though avant-garde composers had done this for a while. Dub is extremely relaxed and tripped out, and you may want to smoke a big spliff before throwing on this episode!

It also really caught on in Nigeria. The style usually sounds happy and relaxed, and can be performed with a small guitar-based ensemble or as a large big band ensemble.

Pan-African Hour: African Music from the 1920s to the 1950s) (Feb 16, 2011)

2011-03-01T21:41:00.000-05:00

The African music industry was somewhat limited prior to countries achieving independence from colonial rule, with many groups having to go abroad to record. Thus the 60s were the first really big decade for African groups/artists recording, and prior to that recordings are more rare, though it depends on which part of Africa your considering (lots more recordings from South Africa, for instance). This episode of the Pan-African Hour explores those earlier years, and so the PAH boys thought it fitting to let their grandpas host the show, live from their rocking chairs at teatime!

We start our adventure with Geeves and Dan Forth aboard an airplane heading to a mysterious fabulous party, when suddenly their plane is shot down and they crash land in Uganda, where they are greeted by a Jewish village and entertained with music. The villagers give them some robotic donkeys to ride and they set off across East Africa, encountering many people, from friendly boat captains to MIA, searching for a way back to Canada. Along the way they hear lots of great music from Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Mozambique and Malawi.

2011-02-03T15:10:00.000-05:00

Mbalax is a style that developed in Senegal in the late 70s. Moving away from the Cuban craze that had gripped Senegal in the 60s and early to mid 70s, Bands such as Etoile de Dakar, Super Diamono and Xalam paved a new direction which borrowed from Wolof traditional rhythms, mixing these with elements of African-American music and rock and roll. Tracks from this episode are taken from the magnificent African Pearls series put out by Syllart, specifically the albums Musical Effervescence and The Teranga Spirit.

Pan-African Hour: African Rock and Roll Part 1 (Jan 19, 2011)

2011-01-21T16:24:00.000-05:00

Rock and Roll never caught on in Africa like other US styles like jazz, funk or hip-hop. But it did have an impact, especially the psychedelic rock of the 60s. When we heard some of these track we had a hard time even believing they were African, cus were just not used to blazing fuzzy guitars in African music. Starting off with a more 50s rock and roll sound, most of the rest of the episode is of the 60s/70s variety of rock and roll. From San-Francisco style trip outs to the African version of Black Sabbath (check out Chrissy Zebby Tembo and the Ngozi Family), here is a rare form of African music. Some key albums: Love, Peace and Poetry Vol. 8: African Psychedelic Music, Nigeria Rock Special, The World Ends, and Next Stop...Soweto Vol. 2.

Eat My Country: Native North American Folk Traditions

2010-10-06T19:29:00.001-04:00

Listen to some contemporary folk music of Native North Americans (including Tuvan sounds-listen and you'll hear why!). You'll hear bassy Iirngaaq singing from Inuit groups, paired with Tuvan throat singing, along with dynamic group vocals from Cree, Salish and Navajo groups. Oh and a little bit of 'Love lift us up-Buffy Sainte-Marie', 'cause I ran out of music. If you listen closely you can hear a special guest (Jbi) breathing in the background! But if you listen too close you might have your ear drums blown out by wise ol' yokel.... real loud talker that one.
