It's a sad weekend for Waiheke Island with the loss of the long time resident and positive force Hera Mohns. Friends of the Street is a voluntary, community-based organisation which aims to help young islanders and which has the support of the police. Its core service is giving island youngsters out and about at night a free and safe ride home. Its co-ordinator is Hera Mohns. I dedicate the show to her and open with the Van Morrison classic "Into The Mystic". Have to play heaps from Berli based 17 Hippies. A song with Fredo from "Les Ogres de Barback" singing a duet with Kiki, the adventures with "Les Hurlements d'Léo" as "Hardcore Trobadors" and "Marlène", our little big hit in France... all those stories we share with our neigbours are beautiful, our friendship very much alive, as our love for France has always been. This compilation is a present to everything that has been connecting us these last 15 years. Merci a tous. ("17 Hippies chantent en français" is released in France by Buda Musique. From May 2013 the album will also be available online). - See more at: http://17hippies.de/en#sthash.t1C2GtHi.dpuf

It's a beautiful Mother's Day. Cloudless and perfect for drying the washing. When that's done there nothing better than the second volume in the series of 'Tropical Grooves & Afrofunk International' selections from the Paris DJs Soundsystem is the follow-up to the 'Dis Is Good For You' compilation from last year, one of Paris DJs' bestseller since the media morphed into a label (now releasing a new single or album every week!). This time artists were sent a mesmerizing Ben Hito artwork as a source of inspiration to submit tracks, with a hypnotic new direction towards the mystic, and music flowed from all over the world with a communicative enthousiasm...The compilation was cooked up by Paris DJs honcho Djouls with the help of co-founders Loik Dury and Grant Phabao, going through hundreds of songs and instrumentals in order to refine a full hour trip of messing-with-your-mind grooves. From the Afro Funk of Polyrhythmics or Phil Motion & The Easy LO-Fi, to the Afro-Latin sounds of Bixiga 70, Jungle Fire, EMEFE or Radio Citizen vs. Deela, from the Carribean Funk of Mop Mop to the Ethio-Jazz of Arat Kilo or Jungle By Night, From the Afro Psych of Goat to the Roots Reggae of Grant Phabao & The Silvertones, from the heavy funk of The Sidetones or The Grits to the Afro Dub of the International Ducks, this is a new tour de force in gathering the many colors of psychedelic funk & jazz from all over the globe! Soundway Records present Kenya Special: Selected East African Recordings from the 1970s & ‘80s - a treasure-trove of rare and unusual recordings from East Africa. Spread out over two CDs and one triple LP, Kenya Special is accompanied by detailed liner notes, original artwork and photographs.It follows on from Soundway’s much acclaimed African ‘Special’ series that to date has focused on the highlife and afrobeat output from 1970s Nigeria and Ghana......... and much much more

Gale warning in force for all areas. Waves may rise rapidly in squalls. Northwest 10 knots, rising to 20 knots gusting 30 knots early afternoon and to 25 knots gusting 35 knots early evening, and possibly gusting to 55 knots in squalls. Northwest rising to 40 knots gusting 60 knots late this evening. Take funk, soul, psychedelia and rumba, mix it up with a thick dose of heavy local rhythms and throw everything in a Benin grinder. The brew is then mixed up with hypnotic Farfisa solos, gritty guitar riffs, distorted bass lines, warm horns and the result, of exorcizing proportion, will lead to frenetic body movements. Some people bang their heads, others jerk their feet or feel an urgent need to get up and start shaking their hips. One thing is common, though, to everyone who submits their ears to a spinning record by the mighty Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou: you simply can't stand still. And this new compilation is proof of that - here are 14 funky tracks by the legendary ensemble from Benin that has been deemed as "West-Africa's best kept secret," or as the "The D.N.A. of voodoo groove". Thanks for tuning in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Moroccan Sahrawi singer Oum announced the release of her new album and video entitled “Soul of Morocco” in France. The budding Moroccan singing star with her five-piece soul band headlined the opening night of the Taragalte music festival last November, which was dedicated to and also featured Malian musicians then exiled because of the takeover of northern Mali by al-Qaeda-linked extremist groups. Femi Kuti has taken upon himself to carry forward Afrobeat -both music and its message - but it's also important for him to take that creation and stamp his own mark onto it;as he says "I think it's very important for me to respect my father’s creation all the time. But I don't want to be my father's replica. I want to find my own spirit, my own soul and my own voice." 'No Place For My Dream' was recorded in Paris with producer Sodi, who is well known for his collaborations with the Kuti Family; he produced several Fela albums and has worked with Femi for many years. Founded by Trinidadian-Canadian songwriter Drew Gonsalves, Kobo Town is named after the historic neighborhood in Port-of-Spain where calypso was born. Kobo Town takes the intricate wordplay of classic Caribbean music and runs it through a 21st Century filter. In the world of Kobo Town calypso, roots reggae, and acoustic instrumentation meet innovative production techniques, social commentary and indie rock attitude.

Ska-P from Spain opens the show today with their just released 99% Cd. We have more Ska from Chile Santiago. Soundway present a very limited vinyl-only re-issue of a truly unique and obscure LP from 1974. Performed by the cultural rock band Colomach and led by Northern Togo musician Gneni Mamadou, this record was recorded in EMI Nigeria's state-of -the-art studio and only ever released in Nigeria in tiny numbers. The original record is one of the rarest Afro-rock LPs ever made and has almost vanished since its production nearly 40 years ago. The album is a truly original fusion of traditional music from the arid Sahel region of West Africa (the northern areas of Togo, Ghana, Benin, Cote D'Ivoire, Nigeria and parts of Burkina Faso and Mali) with raw 'garagey' psych-rock that was honed playing alongside similar 'cultural' bands of the era such as Hedzoleh Soundz and Edzayawa. Production heavyweight Rhys Adams returns with his second LP under the ‘YesKing’ moniker and his debut for the BBE label. Produced entirely by Adams, ‘Re-Record Not Fade Away’, marks a coming of age for the seasoned studio head and a sonic departure from the outfit’s 2008 debut ‘Rock This World’ (co-produced by Mark Rae of Rae & Christian fame). Featured artists provide a wealth of variety to the album’s underlying themes: Guitarist for The Soothsayers and Jerry Dammers’ Spatial aka Orchestra, Patrick Hatchett plays on much of the album also co-writing several tracks becoming, in Adams’ words, ‘central to the Yesking sound’. Togo born singer Kodjovi Kush adds afrobeat flavour to ‘One More Time’ with a vocal performance which displays his musical journey to East London via Ghana, Israel and ‘90s Central London cultural hotspot, the Africa Centre.

It's a dry Eastern. Need a drink and some rain. Best to do some African Griot Groove, Mambossa and Porca Troica. The Kaligola Disco Bar sounds like a good idea to break the drought. Gospel could do the trick, but perhaps we need the genius of Magnifico, Electro Blues, Love for Levon or a Dirty Dub Raindrop. I just keep trying from around this great planet. The only one we have and share all together. Better get along and thanks for the music. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got the (Electric) Blues tonight from the Brighton based Freshly Squeezed label, which also feature in Electro Swing, the Best Of. The Parov Stelar Trio brings their "Invible Girl" into the swinging stratosphere. Paris DJ's continue their weekly releases and gives us a trio of Grant Phabao pearls. Many told me that Italian Nidi D'Arac were incredible at Womad. They are!!! Taranta & Pizzica Dances. Niyaz blends medieval Sufi poetry and folk songs from the Persian and Arabian Gulf, rich acoustic instrumentation, with modern electronics and much more. Tonite is for Daren Day, who has gone on a long unknown journey. May you travel in peace Bro

The Navigator sailed over a period of 10 years on the FRI, a Baltic Trader from 1912 and of Moruroa French testing fame. The only way you could get ashore when the ship was at anchor was to row. It was on the ship i learned sea shanties. Working songs when everything was done by hand. Heave away and Haul away. Sometimes during that period we had a bosun from Wales. When he was drunk he could recite the most dirty shanties and could keep one poem going for at least half an hour. Songs about hard work, longing for those ashore, fantasies what they did ashore in the red light districts of the ports they call into. Sea Shanties are the Rap of a time gone. I kick off with that about halfway the show. Before that new albums "Buonasera Signorina mixed by Pony Montana", "Guerrier" Cheick Tidiane Seck, "Keep on Rolling" Grant Phabao & The Silvertones, "Latin Noir", the last of a series of five on the Piranha Label and more......................Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
