Nice show this Sunday, lots of new tunes, including Shugo Tokumaru, Bing Ji Ling, a Record Store Day track from Shawn Lee, J-Rocc, Brave Irene, Femi Kuti, Lake, Vivian Girls and more. In the first set there’s a track from a very interesting collection of religious music from Ghana, I Have My Liberty!, just click this link to find out more about it. Also finally got a copy of Now-Again’s fantastic collection of Indonesian Psych-Funk…Enjoy, we’re all on vinyl next week, perhaps with a special guest.
