Greetings dear listeners! I hope you can pledge tonight to support WFMU!
If you pledge to my show right here, as usual I've made a custom conceptual world music cd for everyone who pledges $75 or more.
This year's custom cd is Transpacific Sound Paradise with Rob Weisberg presents No Borders! Unbounded Sounds From Around the World: A GPS-defying collection of fabulous tracks that can’t be walled in by genre or geography!.
Of course, if my cd doesn't float your boat you can choose a different DJ's premium (cd or otherwise) instead. You can see the full list of DJ CD premiums at
https://wfmu.org/dj-premiums/.
I’m now in my fourth decade on WFMU! Who’d a thunk it? And if you are in a good place economically, perhaps you’ll consider celebrating my radio longevity by making a $10 per month (or more) sustaining Swag For Life pledge.
If you do, your cup shall runneth over with WFMU swag EVERY year!
This year for a pledge of $50 or more you get our Japanese Funhouse T-shirt (designed by Yu Maeda)
And for a $10 per month swag for life pledge you’ll receive the WFMU | Radio T-shirt, designed by Greg Harrison!
But any amount you can pledge is most fabulous and wonderful. And it just takes a $20 pledge to get our fab new WFMU Minotaur Bumper Sticker, designed by Kirsten Ulve, discount admission to our Record Fair April 26 - 28 at Brooklyn Expo Center - AND you’ll get in the running for a prize drawing for one of the great LPs and CDs I’m giving away to lucky pledgers this evening!
A premium-cd-level pledge of $75 or more also gets you into the running for our grand prize, Opika Pende, Africa at 78 RPM, 112 page book with 4 CDs, dozens of full-color images from the era, the CDs feature 100 never-before-reissued recordings from the 1909-1960s.
And you can peruse the fabulous swag on offer station-wide at various pledge levels at
https://wfmu.org/swag.
From the Introduction to Opika Pende by Jonathan Ward (who compiled and edited the set): It is truly astonishing to consider the tremendous variety of music that was pressed to shellac discs on the continent of Africa. Popular songs, topical songs, work songs, comic songs, songs of worship, ritual, dance, and praise—the sheer range of musical styles resists any easy categorization. Further, African geography itself resists boundaries. The boundaries of cultures and languages are often far more complex than political boundaries. Complicating things further, entire countries seem to have been skipped over by both commercial 78 rpm record companies and ethnographers during the 78 rpm era. No doubt it was the same with many cultures. But that doesn’t mean that 78s weren’t everywhere, even in remote parts of the continent. By the mid-1960s, 78s were still a popular if not preferred medium in much of Africa, as a significant amount of the population still used wind-up gramophone players. I have created this compilation with one simple goal in mind: to showcase a diverse amount of long-forgotten music from Africa that transports me as a listener. It is one person’s offering of music that is wholly unavailable except in its original elusive and fragile format.
Thanks!
