|---|---|---|
| Big Guitars from Texas | Ride of the Ruthless | |
| Cedric Im Brooks | Lambs Bread Collie | Cedric Brooks has been playing sax in Jamaica and around for years; he joined the Skatalites after Roland Alphonso died. The band on his new solo album, on Honest Jons, is Cedric Im Brooks & the Light of Saba (2003) |

| Cedric Im Brooks | Sound | |
| The Skatalites | Guns of Navarone | From "Hi Bop Ska"-- their amazing 30th Anniversary Album-- with Monty Alexander, Lester Bowie, David Murray, Toots Hibbert, Prince Buster and others helping out |
| Akoya Afrobeat | Je Je L'Aiye | Featuring Cedric Brooks as a guest on this tune; they played live on Rob's show a few weeks ago. The band includes-- as they say on their website-- "members from Panama, Ghana, Benin, South Africa, Japan and the US, this 13-piece ensemble embraces unity and positive vibrations." Find out more at akoyamusic.com |
| Fiji | Indigenous Life | Jawaiian music from the South Pacific; Fiji is George Veikoso |
| Cyril Pahinui | Hawaiian Cowboy | The original is copyright 1936 although you can see Sol K Bright do it on YouTube from 1986! Cyril does this at a faster tempo in his duet album with Bob Brozman but this laid back instrumental version is so sharp. |
| Brudda Iz (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole) | Panini Pua Kea | Aside from his sweet voice and ukelele band, Brudda Iz was also a Hawaiian nationalist-- speaking and singing for the rights of the native peoples of the South Pacific and standing up to the colonialists. Yeh, the USA! |
| A.P. Sharpe his Honolulu Hawaiians | Ukelele Lady | From "Steeling Round the World: Hawaiian Style" (Harlequin, 2203)-- as Hawaiian steel guitar. I know this song from a cover by Jim Kweskin Jug Band |
| Professor Longhair | Mardi Gras in New Orleans | Guitar by Snooks Eaglin, who died this week. RIP/Laissez Le Bon Ton Roulez! |
| Snooks Eaglin | Fly Right Baby | From "Country Boy in New Orleans" on Arhoolie, recorded in 1955 & released on CD in 1991 |
| The Dirty Dozen Brass Band w/ Dr. John | It's All Over Now | Vinyl allows me to play the wrong speed if I want! From 1987 "Voodoo" album on CBS Records |
| Wild Magnolias | Ho Na Nae | That's Snooks again, playing a mean guitar |
| Robert Munro | Brisas Del Zulia | Acoustic music from Trinidad carnival |
| Rude Girls | Kaka Lala | More Trinidad, from Carnival 95. Follow the instructions! |
| Joanna | Diga Ai | Brazil |
| Mario Vickram Sen & Tiffany Sen | Clear As A Bell | Find out more about "Gypsychology" at innergypsy.com |
| Taraf de Haidouks | Cacuria Dances | Authentic Gypsy music, on Nonesuch: "Band of Gypsies" (2001) |
| War | Lowrider | Yes, this is the theme music to the George Lopez show. Chicano music from the boys who gave us "Cisco Kid" and more. |
| Los Madrugadores | La Parranda | Corrido about carousing |
| Joe Cuba | Quinto Sabroso | Born Jose Calderon in Spanish Harlem, Joe Cuba was the Boogaloo King for decades. Fania just reissued this album. Bang Bang. |
| Joe Cuba | Joe Cuba's Latin Hustle | How about one more?! The guy just died; it's the least we can do. Try & stand still. |
| Cachao | Camina Juan Pescao | Soulful classical jazz bass from one of the best. Check out "La Leyenda" on Universal, 2008. |
| Cachaito | A Gozar El Tumbao | |
| Cachaito | Cachaito in Laboratory | |
| Los Zafiros | Un Nombre de Mujer | Cuban do-wop from the 1960, with Cachaito on bass & Manuel Galban on guitar; from "Bossa Cubana" on Nonesuch (1999) |
| Manuel Guajiro Mirabal | Dombe Dombe | Ruben Gonzalez on piano, Cchaito on bass & Guajiro on trumpet |
| Afro-Cuban All Stars | Fiesta de la Rumba | This is from their "A Toda Cuba" le Gusta" CD on World Circuit (1997) |
| Master Musicians of Jajouka with Bachir Attar | If the Moon Loves You | |
| Otha Turner the Afrossippi Allstars | Bounce Ball | The is fife & drum music from north Mississippi-- with an amazingly African flavor that we all thought was lost in the new world. |
| John Sinclair & His Blues Scholars | Some Other Blues/Like Sonny/The Drum Thing | A segment from "Full Moon Light"-- recorded live in New Orleans, 9/20/04. Dig those horns. |
| Henry Butler | Tee-Nah-Nah | Okay, a little more mardi gras! As cool as this number is, it doesn't do justice to Henry Butler, a fine New Orleans jazz/blues piano player |
| Beau Joque and the Zydeco Hi-Rollers | Damballah | Rockin' zydeco for y'all |
| Thai Elephant Orchestra | Phong's Solo | An amazing feat, produced by Dave Solider & Richard Lair. Working with skeptical Thaii mahouts (trainers) they taught these intelligent rhythmic animals to play! And this is volume 2, on Mulatta Records. |
| Thai Elephant Orchestra | Floating Down the Pin River | Sorry that I ran out of time. Isn't this great stuff?! |
