Guest DJ Dave Buttle of Mr Bongo Records

Hear this show now: Pop-up player!

Mr Bongo, celebrating its 15th anniversary, specializes in digging up old Latin, Brazilian and African gems as well as discovering edgy new artists from thereabouts - trendy now, but the label was one of the first in the UK to work these angles.
Dave will spin records at Black Betty, 366 Metropolitan Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Sunday night October 16.
