Old friends and hapless mavericks Ivan Smagghe and Nathan Gregory Wilkins present a fortnightly window into their ramshackle musical world. A show with absolutely no rules (as they'd only break them). We love the unmixable, old & new. We are oddballs and we love you.
Curator and DJ Edna Martinez explores the champeta, an underground musical genre and dance that originated in the Caribbean coast of Colombia in the early 1980s. The rhythms and influences are said to have arrived with the sailors from West Africa in the 1960s and 70s. We will get to know in each episode its specificities and the relevance of this scene. From the host: "This episode is dedicated to the memory of Dogar Disc (Ismael Simancas), one of the pioneering voices of champeta from Cartagena. With over three decades of work, his music helped shape sound of the city and the genre itself. This show is a small tribute to his legacy and history he leaves behind."
