Henri Guedon and African/Latin with Guest DJ Gregoire de Villanova

Hear this show now: Pop-up player!

Greg is a Paris-based DJ and proprietor of the online vinyl depot http://www.diasporarecords.com. He recently produced a retrospective CD of 60s and 70s tracks by the idiosyncratic French Caribbean percussionist (and visual artist) Henri Guedon for Comet Records. The CD highlights the influence of the New York Latin scene on Guedon's early recordings.

Joining us for hours 2 and 3 of today's show, Greg spins that CD, other examples of non-indigenous Latin music from the 60s and 70s, and even some straight-up Francophone African music from that era. Hour 1 of the show features a mixed bag of music including several new releases.
