Thursday July 8th Global Village Playlist and Info

Ali Lexa sitting in for John Schneider

How did the Baka Tribes of Cameroon influence the top R & B groups in France?
And how did a Surf Guitar classic lay down the foundation for hip-hop and rap?
Find out tomorrow when I'll be sitting in for John Schneider on KPFK. In the first hour we explore the haunting chants and songs of the Baka tribes of central Africa, then to West Africa for an amazing Ethiopian Hip-hop project, north to Egypt and North Africa we get a taste of the modern hybrid Arabic fusion and finally to Paris where the Baka - R & B connections created one of the biggest hits on the French and US R&B charts.

Then in the second hour we were joined live by two masters of the surf guitar, Paul Johnson of the Surfaris and the Belairs and Gil Orr of the Chantays who have combined forces to create the Duo-Tones. A unique exploration into surf guitar classics done predominantly on two acoustic guitars. We'll hear some surf guitar history and I'll reveal a classic surf song that laid the beat for 100's of rap and hip-hop tunes!
The Duo-Tones will be playing on Sunday July 11th in El Segundo at Old Town Music Hall
