Honduran multi-instrumentalist Rolando "Chichi" Sosa has quietly played a crltical role in the development of Afro-Caribbean Garifuna music over the past two decades. He's composed and performed with Garifuna music's greatest star, the late Andy Palacio, as well as current stars Aurelio Martinez, Danny Michel and many others. He helped put together the all-star band Garifuna Collective which worked with many artists including the grondbreaking Umalali Garifuna Women's Project.
Recently Chichi extended his musical scope to work with the well-regarded retro Caribbean band Kobo Town. But he's rarely taken center stage himself - until now, as he leads his own band in NYC.
Chichi drops by tonight to share his music live and on cd and share the story of this rich music and culture from Central America and the Caribbean.
Be sure to give Chi Chi a facebook "Like" via https://www.facebook.com/chichi.eci!
Special thanks to Pablo Blanco of Elite Carib International for bringing Chichi to WFMU and the world.

From the webstie: The Nile Project was founded in 2011 by Egyptian ethnomusicologist Mina Girgis and Ethiopian- American singer Meklit Hadero to address the Nile Basin’s cultural and environmental challenges. Using music, education, and innovation programs, the Nile Project inspires, informs, and empowers university students to work together to foster the sustainability of their ecosystem... The Nile Project curates collaborations among musicians from the 11 Nile countries to expose audiences to the cultures of their river neighbors. These musical experiences foster cross-cultural empathy and inspire environmental curiosity to shift the Nile from a divisive geopolitical argument to a uniting East-African conversation. In partnership with local universities, interactive workshops and free online courses educate students and help them discover their unique roles in creating a more sustainable Nile Basin (nileproject.org)

...Russia's adjustment after the fall of the USSR is understandable - but Bad Economy too often leads to fascistic Nationalism, almost anywhere (as WWII followed the Depression) - & whatever Putin's accomplishments for his country - he's an ex-KGB turd (if I may so boldly editorialize)... | |
