Global A Go-Go

Music
With Bill Lupoletti
Global A Go-Go is a weekly two-hour world music radio program that I've been hosting since 2004. It's usually produced live in the studio and can be heard on both the FM radio band at 97.3 FM in Richmond, Virginia and as a webstream simulcast at wrir.org.
It is rebroadcast on other radio stations, and it's available as a podcast as well. There's a comprehensive online archive of Global A Go-Go programs (I'm not kidding about it being comprehensive -- the recordings go all the way back to August 25, 2004) here: radio4all.net/index.php/series/Global+A+Go-Go
I describe Global A Go-Go as "music from around the world in the universal language of groove." In short, you could call it a world music program that emphasizes the danceable over the folkloric.
Global A Go-Go is all about decolonizing your ears. My goal with this
program is to expand your listening horizon: I want more people to
listen to more music from outside their own country, language, culture
and comfort zone.
Ghana, forward forever
