Deep Cuts, Wide World

Two hours deep in the global underground – today’s In the Pocket moves from West African rhythms and Afrobeat edits through the soul and funk of the diaspora, touching Lagos, Cotonou, Bamako, Kingston and New York before stretching into cosmic dance floor territory.

Grupo Serenata appear from Luke Una’s É Soul Cultura Vol. 3 on Mr Bongo, sitting alongside Tony Allen, Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Cotonou, and a heavy run of edits from Sonic Funk Foundry, JBoogie, Koichi Toyama and more.

The show closes wide open – Norman Connors, STR4TA, Sol Power All-Stars, and Vick Lavender carrying it home.
