Episode 50: The welcome summertime soundtrack

Summer is here straight out of winter. So we’re switching straight into that hot and vibrant soundtrack that makes you want to dance outside all night long, no matter where in the world you are. Taking a trip to Mexico and Columbia in search of cumbia treasures with Boogie Down Edits, getting into steel band covers with Bacao Rythm & Steel Band and philosophize about why no one hasn’t done a cover, an edit or a jingle of mighty Gregory Isaacs Report To Me (ok, so we’ll do that).

Boogie

Episode 48: The sweetness and the bad beats

Sometimes an Ajvar hour is very structured and themed. But mostly not. This time starting in a relaxed mode highlighting one of the most beautiful voices the world has ever known. South African Letta Mbula:s Nomalizo from the 1983 album In The Music……The Village Never Ends is not only oh so expensive but also worth its price.

Letta

The second part however is all about beats, so good and captivating that they kept us quite while the mix went on. From Senegalese 70:s Fangool, Brazil classic Willie Colon Captain Planet mashed up to Moroccan Gnawa music and our favorite Congolese electric likembé bazombo band Konono No 1. Enjoy the diversity. And the silence.

Episode 47: Let’s cover them all

It took more than a decade but we finally did it. The show of all shows. The cover theme. And we got them all including David Bowie, Nirvana, Shaft, Michael Jackson, Metallica, Bill Withers, Steve Kekana, and 50 Cent. Some of it smooth as silk, some a little more strange and some totally wacky. Lots of back beats but also bits of Latin and Yugo disco.
