Episode #575
Vaults: Merkin Hall Grab Bag
Thursday, August 10, 2006
For this edition of New Sounds From the Vaults, we’ll be sampling some music from the New Sounds Live concert series at Merkin Hall, specifically, the fall 1990 season. First off, there’s the West African vocal beatboxing and percussion-heavy music of Ladygourd Sangoma. Also on the show, hear music from Peter Gordon & The Love of Life Orchestra inspired by nightmares of cigarettes and Robert Mappelthorpe photos, all part of a week featuring performances from New Sounds Live.
