#3116: The New Latin Tinge
Jelly Roll Morton identified “the Latin tinge” as a major component in the development of jazz. Now, the rhythms and sounds of Latin music can be heard in the long-awaited Malian-Cuban collaboration that was meant to take place when the Buena Vista Social Club was born – “AfroCubism.”
On this New Sounds program, we’ll sample some of this incredibly gorgeous weave of kora, ngoni, horns, and Cuban cowboy guitars. Also, listen to the Cuban/Jewish mix of Septeto Rodriguez, the Latin tinge in Booka Michel's soundtrack to “Baghdad Texas,” and music from Smokey (Hormel)’s Secret Family, something like samba-roots-pop meets jazz from West Africa in the 60’s. And much more.
