February 10, 2024: Lunar New Year + Justin Adams and Mauro Durante Giveaway

TICKET GIVEAWAY: We have two pairs of tickets to see Justin Adams and Mauro Durante at Le Poisson Rouge, 158 Bleecker St. in Manhattan, Thursday night at 8 in a concert presented by the World Music Institute. To enter the drawing for the tickets, send an email here with TIX in the subject line, and I'll let you know this afternoon if you're a winner.

Justin Adams is a guitarist, producer, and composer who has worked with the likes of Robert Plant in the Sensational Space Shifters, Jah Wobble, and Sinead O’Connor. Adams has also produced luminaries such as Malian group Tinariwen, Gambia’s Juldeh Camara, and, most recently, Puglian ensemble CGS (Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino). His own personal projects have received critical acclaim as well. Ribbons, Adams’ solo guitar record, was cited by Songlines Magazine among the top 50 albums of the past decade.

This latest collaboration with Mauro Durante, composer and bandleader of Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino, stems from a concert led by Ludovico Einaudi, the legendary Notte de Taranta in Puglia, where the two first played together. Adams and Durante’s most recent musical effort Still Moving was recorded straight to tape with no overdubs. The record effortlessly weaves through love songs of southern Italy and rasping blues from North Africa and North America. WMI is excited to present this long-time, collaborative duo in an intimate setting. - World Music Institute

	9:09am fred: ↳ Song: "Kangwondo Arirang" by "E-do" Spaking of Korean music and jazz, I once saw a Sinawi performance that sounded like free jazz. A friend agreed, and his word is weightier than mine as he runs a free jazz label
	9:10am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Kangwondo Arirang" by "E-do" That sounds really good

	9:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Crying Softshell Turtle" by "Leenalchi" How does the rabbit feel about it all?
	9:26am fred: Many years ago, I saw a dance show that ended with a beautiful song, unfortunately uncredited. I finally heard it on the station, so now I know it was Kim Jung Mi's Haenim. Though the Korean song that is etched in my brain is Santoki (my brother was adopted from Korea, he had a record of this song with him)

	10:08am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 Damo had been battling cancer for the last 10 years. He is released. Thank you, Damo Suzuki San.
	10:08am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ fred @10:05 I'm sure he won't be alone.
	🌍 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Rob and population. 🐉
	10:10am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ StringOFperils @10:08 I saw that too. A Guardian piece from a couple years ago says his first bout was even earlier, by decades. www.theguardian.com...
	10:11am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:10 Yes. 30 years or so, I believe. In 2014 he was given a 10% chance of surviving some treatment

	🌍 10:25am chresti: Morning Rob and paradisians! Happy lunar new year!
	10:27am StringOFperils: I saw Justin Adams around 1990, when he was breaking out as part of Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart. Really interesting to hear a 'western'-looking young person play Arabic music on a Stratocaster so expertly. Very cool band, that was.
	10:31am fred: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:25 I wish more people thought that way
	🌍 10:33am Listener Tom: ↳ StringOFperils @10:27 Justin and Mauro played globalFEST last year, but I can't really say I "saw" them there, since I couldn't get close enough to make them out. They sounded great though.
	10:35am katie: they were great at Global fest. I imagine they will rock out even more with a full set.
	10:36am fred: @Rob: the next big is Nowruz I guess
	10:37am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Tom @10:33 They did sound great. I was pretty up close for most of that set.

	10:39am fred: ↳ fred @10:36 I meant big one. It might be during the marathon though; the biggest thing ever in my calendar
	10:39am Rob W: ↳ fred @10:36 Fred, yes, I guess I had better prepare for that.
	10:40am Curious: Why was the lady that was just singing? The one just before the flamencoish piece.
	🌍 10:41am Listener Tom: Love this track...
	10:41am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Tom @10:33 Happy to hear the audience was large. Good! Back then I saw them on a small stage, and then, Justin alone, in two near-empty 'workshops'. *After the initial main event, I was taking some alone-time on the shore of Lake Ontario and when I turned around I discovered Jah Wobble right next to me, doing the same. He had that 'please leave me alone' look when I addressed him by name, but seemed okay when I was mostly effusive about his guitar player. And of course when I promptly left him alone on the shore.
	10:41am Curious: ↳ Curious @10:40 I meant who. Stupid autocorrect.
	10:45am Rob W: ↳ Curious @10:41 That was Lee Narae.
	🌍 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "China Blues" by "Wu Man & Son de San Diego" Haunting.
	10:48am fred: ↳ Curious @10:41 Call it autocarrot enough times and it might give up. Or feed it a transcript of Kenny G's show
	10:49am fred: ↳ Song: "China Blues" by "Wu Man & Son de San Diego" Wu Man is a genius and I love the pipa
	10:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob! Happy New Year, all!

	🌍 10:57am Charles in Chicago: Kung Hei Fat Choi!!
	🌍 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rob. Good luck in the new year! 🐲
	🌍 10:59am slugluv1313: ↳ katie @10:35 hi Katie! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
	🌍 10:59am slugluv1313: most excellent show, Rob -- thanks so much!
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ RobW ~
	11:00am katie: HI slugluv
	11:00am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:57 Don't say that to Asian people unless you know they are Chinese. It's very offensive to many, especially Vietnamese
	🌍 11:00am chresti: Thanks rob!
	11:00am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Thanks, Rob! Have a great weekend, everyone. I'm gonna be walking around with Clay's "Yes We Can!" Obama soundbite in my head for Damo.
	🌍 11:00am Listener Tom: Great show Rob - thanks!
	11:00am StringOFperils: Thank you, Rob! Wonderful show.

	9:06am steveo: 좋은 아침이에요
	9:07am StringOFperils: Good morning, World!
	9:09am fred: ↳ Song: "Kangwondo Arirang" by "E-do" Spaking of Korean music and jazz, I once saw a Sinawi performance that sounded like free jazz. A friend agreed, and his word is weightier than mine as he runs a free jazz label
	9:10am PaulRobeson1924: ↳ Song: "Kangwondo Arirang" by "E-do" That sounds really good
	🌍 9:13am slugluv1313: ↳ Song: "Kangwondo Arirang" by "E-do" ah, thought i was picking up some traditional Korean vibes -- very cool!
	9:14am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Without A Word" by "Sanullim" nice distortion...hello all
	9:15am Crei6hton: Morning morning
	9:16am Rexedog: 新年快乐
	9:17am tom tom the pipers son: is there a conceptual difference between distortion in asian rock music and western....(?)
	9:17am HyperDose: ↳ Song: "Meat Chopping" by "Shan Ren" Epic!
	9:17am Chris Hiatt: Wishing you all a year of adventure!
	9:17am Handy Haversack: Morning, Rob, Border Smashers. Happy New Year!
	9:19am tom tom the pipers son: distortion in western rock has psychological overtones, that i don't think asia rock music has
	9:20am Ryan in St Paul: Holy cow. This is a banger!
	9:20am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ☕️☠️Saluting Thee Assembled with thuh DeathWish Koffeez☠️☕️
	9:20am HyperDose: Feels like forever since I've heard a Leenalchi song
	9:21am steveo: wait NPR knows about Leenalchi too? ;)
	9:22am Ryan in St Paul: I now love Leenalchi
	🌍 9:22am Bas NL: Hi Rob and all!
	9:23am Chris Hiatt: ↳ Song: "Crying Softshell Turtle" by "Leenalchi" Leenalchi, a Wake favorite.
	9:23am bixa: ↳ Song: "Crying Softshell Turtle" by "Leenalchi" cool song. it reminded me to take my beef liver supplements
	9:25am Handy Haversack: ↳ Song: "Crying Softshell Turtle" by "Leenalchi" How does the rabbit feel about it all?
	9:26am fred: Many years ago, I saw a dance show that ended with a beautiful song, unfortunately uncredited. I finally heard it on the station, so now I know it was Kim Jung Mi's Haenim. Though the Korean song that is etched in my brain is Santoki (my brother was adopted from Korea, he had a record of this song with him)
	9:26am tom tom the pipers son: these guys/gals probably like dexie's midnight runners
	9:28am fred: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:25 Maybe the Death Wish Coffee can keep turtles at bay
	9:33am Handy Haversack: ↳ fred @9:28 Rev Rab, check the label!
	9:35am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Handy Haversack @9:25 Rabbits & Turtles seem to get paired in Folkore as (presumably) metabolic polarities... Representing Longevity - the Turtles have found themselves in soups & such - so it's not just the Rabbits suffering for such mythologies...
	🌍 9:36am john_zilla: good morning RobW! good morning all
	9:37am fred: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:35 The rabbit outsmarts the turtle and emperor in that story. Also, Santoki is about a rabbit, I guess they're significant in Korean lore
	9:40am tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @9:35 i worked with some native americans who told a a story about their 70 yr old uncle, still having kids, playing poker with his friends. they all took turns drinking out of a jar of cloudy water, with something floating around in it....a turtle dick
	🌍 9:44am Listener Tom: Good morning everybody!
	9:46am deeesat: Good morning Rob and all!
	9:53am Rob W: Good morning deeesat, Tom and everyone!
	9:58am tak: double woah seven
	9:58am fred: Random question: a coworker will spend time in Bali and Sumatra next month, and he'd love to see some interesting and/or classic gamelan (he knows quite a bit about it). Any rec or advice?
	10:01am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Morning, friends. Hi, Rob. I've been offline so far this morning and just saw the news about Damo Suzuki. That's a big one. RIP.
	10:02am katie: ADG7 were on this show, right? Recorded at WOMEX before COVID
	10:02am tak: oh no Damo :( he changed my life so much, with one show RIP
	10:05am Handy Haversack: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:01 Oh, damn, really?
	10:05am fred: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:01 Bad news indeed. I guess Jesse Dorris will play a lot of can next week
	10:05am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Song: "Whatever" by "Ak Dan Gwang Chil" Another band I know only bc of Bill Bragin!
	10:08am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 Yes, it was all over my feeds when I opened up and seems to be legit confirmed.
	10:08am StringOFperils: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:05 Damo had been battling cancer for the last 10 years. He is released. Thank you, Damo Suzuki San.
	10:08am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ fred @10:05 I'm sure he won't be alone.
	🌍 10:08am Ken From Hyde Park: Greetings, Rob and population. 🐉
	10:10am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ StringOFperils @10:08 I saw that too. A Guardian piece from a couple years ago says his first bout was even earlier, by decades. www.theguardian.com...
	10:11am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:10 Yes. 30 years or so, I believe. In 2014 he was given a 10% chance of surviving some treatment
	10:12am StringOFperils: CAN will endure forever
	10:13am Mister Dobalina: That's what I needed to kick off my morning. Some throat singing...love it!
	10:13am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The irreplaceable Damo. This is where I'd prefer to get such News...
	10:14am Handy Haversack: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:13 Yeah. Yeah. Well said. And StringOFperils too.
	10:16am fred: ↳ StringOFperils @10:11 He spent his life running aroung odds cartoon-like, and didn't waste many breaths doing it
	10:17am HyperDose: More throat singing!
	10:18am dayman: double dip is the best googly eyed program of all WFMU programs. Roger for Prez.
	10:19am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ StringOFperils @10:12 100%. It's still the music of the future as far as I'm concerned.
	10:21am dayman: oops wrong stream. TSP also best!
	10:22am fred: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:19 Then again, by the time you're a Professor, the future is a short time horizon
	10:24am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ fred @10:22 preach!
	10:25am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ fred @10:22 I was thinking about posterity of course--my conception of the future and not just my personal experience of it. :)
	🌍 10:25am chresti: Morning Rob and paradisians! Happy lunar new year!
	10:27am StringOFperils: I saw Justin Adams around 1990, when he was breaking out as part of Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart. Really interesting to hear a 'western'-looking young person play Arabic music on a Stratocaster so expertly. Very cool band, that was.
	10:31am fred: ↳ Listener Bryan (the Professor) @10:25 I wish more people thought that way
	🌍 10:33am Listener Tom: ↳ StringOFperils @10:27 Justin and Mauro played globalFEST last year, but I can't really say I "saw" them there, since I couldn't get close enough to make them out. They sounded great though.
	10:35am katie: they were great at Global fest. I imagine they will rock out even more with a full set.
	10:36am fred: @Rob: the next big is Nowruz I guess
	10:37am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ Listener Tom @10:33 They did sound great. I was pretty up close for most of that set.
	10:38am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ↳ fred @10:31 you can also read it as "who's gonna take care of all my records when i'm gone?" 😂
	10:39am fred: ↳ fred @10:36 I meant big one. It might be during the marathon though; the biggest thing ever in my calendar
	10:39am Rob W: ↳ fred @10:36 Fred, yes, I guess I had better prepare for that.
	10:40am Curious: Why was the lady that was just singing? The one just before the flamencoish piece.
	🌍 10:41am Listener Tom: Love this track...
	10:41am StringOFperils: ↳ Listener Tom @10:33 Happy to hear the audience was large. Good! Back then I saw them on a small stage, and then, Justin alone, in two near-empty 'workshops'. *After the initial main event, I was taking some alone-time on the shore of Lake Ontario and when I turned around I discovered Jah Wobble right next to me, doing the same. He had that 'please leave me alone' look when I addressed him by name, but seemed okay when I was mostly effusive about his guitar player. And of course when I promptly left him alone on the shore.
	10:41am Curious: ↳ Curious @10:40 I meant who. Stupid autocorrect.
	10:45am Rob W: ↳ Curious @10:41 That was Lee Narae.
	🌍 10:47am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ Song: "China Blues" by "Wu Man & Son de San Diego" Haunting.
	10:48am fred: ↳ Curious @10:41 Call it autocarrot enough times and it might give up. Or feed it a transcript of Kenny G's show
	10:49am fred: ↳ Song: "China Blues" by "Wu Man & Son de San Diego" Wu Man is a genius and I love the pipa
	10:51am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Rob! Happy New Year, all!
	🌍 10:54am Bas NL: Thanks Rob! Great sounds!
	🌍 10:57am Charles in Chicago: Kung Hei Fat Choi!!
	🌍 10:58am Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Rob. Good luck in the new year! 🐲
	🌍 10:59am slugluv1313: ↳ katie @10:35 hi Katie! 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛
	🌍 10:59am slugluv1313: most excellent show, Rob -- thanks so much!
	11:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ RobW ~
	11:00am katie: HI slugluv
	11:00am fred: ↳ Charles in Chicago @10:57 Don't say that to Asian people unless you know they are Chinese. It's very offensive to many, especially Vietnamese
	🌍 11:00am chresti: Thanks rob!
	11:00am Listener Bryan (the Professor): Thanks, Rob! Have a great weekend, everyone. I'm gonna be walking around with Clay's "Yes We Can!" Obama soundbite in my head for Damo.
	🌍 11:00am Listener Tom: Great show Rob - thanks!
	11:00am StringOFperils: Thank you, Rob! Wonderful show.
	🌍 11:02am Charles in Chicago: ↳ fred @11:00 I got it from a good Chinese friend of mine. Thanks for the ethnic sensitivity tip.
