All Free Music Archive World Music Show

 Hear this show now: Pop-up listen Pop-up player! | Add or read comments


The Free Music Archive - or FMA, as it's affectionately called around here - is the online music sharing library spearheaded by WFMU in collaboration with partners around the globe. Right now the FMA is nearing the deadline of a critical crowdfunding campaign.

So we thought it would be a perfect time to celebrate its world musicky offerings. We'll hear music in the FMA that we've recorded over the past nine years at the amazing annual Golden Fest. Plus more international FMA gems from our show as well as from many other FMA contributors. You can support the FMA at https://freemusicarchive.org/donate.

Good evening Meg, Ken and everyone, thanks very much for listening!
Avatar 6:38pm northguineahills:

How did I miss Bomba Estereo play live here? Also, I concur w/ Megaroni about Afrodita.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:40pm Rob W:

I had Bomba Estereo on pretty early in their career - 2009 - they might be a little tougher to reel in now...!
Avatar 6:46pm northguineahills:

Burkina Electric, Lukas Ligeti's project (well his and others)!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:53pm Rob W:

I really liked Burkina Electric, they were on the show too back in 2010. Mai Lingani was the lead vocalist and Wende Kouanda the guitarist.

Hi Rob and all!
  7:13pm Katie:

Jude and I are enjoying your picks on Brighton beach in the sunset. It's heaven.
  7:19pm Carmichael:

Hey all! And a happy 5778 to those who care! Happy Rapture to others!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:55pm Rob W:

Thanks Jake on behalf of everyone to whom your new year wishes apply! My brain is permanently stuck in 5732 thanks to Hebrew School. I can't believe it's 5778. Where have the years gone?!
  7:58pm JakeGould:

In the future hours pass like minutes. Days pass as weeks.

What I just wrote doesn’t make sense more than usual.

It's okay to hedge your bets Jake!
