Everybody on the dancefloor! Today we travel to the Antilles, to the island country of Dominica, where the month of July is dedicated to celebrating the music genre of Cadence-Lypso. Originated in the early 1970s by Gordon Henderson, leader and founder of Dominican band Exile One, cadence-lypso was a fusion of cadence rampa from Haiti and calypso from Trinidad & Tobago that became hugely popular in the dance clubs throughout the Creole world and Africa as well as the French Antilles. We'll hear some of the most enduring hits of the 1970s by seminal artists such as Belles Combo, Bill-O-Men, Black Affairs, Black Machines, Black Roots, Djumbo, Edouard Benoit, Exile House, Exile One, Galaxy, Henry “Rico” Laquitaine, Les Gramacks, Liquid Ice, Mantra, Midnight Groovers, Milestone, Naked Feet, Ophélia Marie, Smoke, The Bongo Hop, and Wafrikai. "Music for the Masses" invites you on an excursion of sound and rhythm. Discover the music of established and emerging artists, both signed and unsigned, on the international music scene. For the avid globe-hopper and armchair traveler alike. You might want to pack a map and a sandwich. Broadcast live from Catskill.
