"Global A Go-Go" is hosted by Bill Lupoletti and originally broadcast on WRIR in Richmond, Virginia. Lupoletti writes, "I describe 'Global A Go-Go' as 'music from around the world in the universal language of groove.' In short, you could call it a world music program that emphasizes the danceable over the folkloric. 'Global A Go-Go' is all about decolonizing your ears. My goal with this program is to expand your listening horizon: I want more people to listen to more music from outside their own country, language, culture and comfort zone. You'll hear plenty of newly released music on 'Global A Go-Go,' but I also feature classic and historic recordings on virtually every program. I play music from all continents (OK, not Antarctica) -- if I tallied everything Africa would certainly come in #1 and South America would probably be #2. And I do play music from the USA when it fits the context. For more information go to http://www.globalagogo.com/.
