Liquid Sunshine with Maarten Vlot

Lagos To Rio

This week’s Liquid Sunshine is a global groove odyssey—funky world music that moves seamlessly from Tania Maria’s Brazilian percussion fire through Fela Kuti’s Afrobeat force, then into Latin boogaloo heat from Charlie Palomares and Joe Bataan’s New York street funk.

From K Frimpong’s Ghanaian highlife-meets-Cuban fusion to Shina Williams’ hypnotic African percussion and back to the disco-funk of Odyssey and Al Hudson, every track carries that essential ingredient: rhythm that transcends borders and makes bodies move.

It’s two hours of proof that the funk is a universal language—whether it’s born in Lagos, Rio, New York, or Accra, the groove always finds its way home.
