Head Sounds: Tostoni

On this month’s show, Tostoni presents an exploration of Afro Venezuelan rhythms, with examples taken from early field recordings by Juan Liscano (for Alan Lomax’s World Library Of Folk And Primitive Music series), Luis Laffer and Oswaldo Lares, among other commercially produced gems.

Get ready to hear the popular group Un Solo Pueblo and the great new sensation Betsayda Machado, followed by various field recordings from 1942 to 1980, like the awesome vocal track from Ana Uribe, San Benito’s gaitas by Francisca Garcia and the heavy drums trance of Tambores De La Sabana.
