GETTING JIGGY WIT IT ...
And with a frisson of excitement, MADERA VERDE is back in the hot seat, prepping for the Carnival season, which is but a stones throw away. For the first show of the year, its the usual Global Glitch bonanza with the odd indulgent Balearic curve ball and sneaky off piste club banger. Na na nana na na na!
#OLDSCHOOLAWESOMENESS ...
... not referring to MADERA himself here ( ... although he is kind of ancient...) but to the musical selection for this week's show which features a plethora of re released Afro Disco gems + Brasilian Funk & classic Breaks. Stil, there is always room for new dancehall from Japan, future Latin out of Colombia, and horizontal Cosmic Soul from LA ... #global glitch

AFROBEAT NO GO DIE, MADERA ... PART 2
A bit like London buses, you wait for ages for one and then two come along in quick succession; after last week's special with Afrobeat legend DELE SOSIMI, its time for (relatively) young whippersnappers on the scene the LONDON AFROBEAT COLLECTIVE to flex their musical muscle on the show.

EAT. SLEEP. MADERA. REPEAT ...
Back back back for more more more ... featuring a mini mix from NICK PAGE aka DUBULAH/DUB COLOSSUS/XAOS on a sonic journey from Ethiopia, to Greece via Albania & Syria.
MAKE MINE A MADERA WITH A TWIST
Continuing the occasional series where we ask musicians to make us a mix tape of what is currently floating their musical boat, this week Sao Paolo based Afrobeat outfit BIXIGA 70 do the honours. In the words of compiler/musician Mauricio Fleury:
"I put two Brazilian tracks that were written by Pedro Sorongo, plus a Cumbia that influenced us a lot in the album, an Angolan Semba and our track 'Mil Vidas' from the last album in the end, so it's a little about Afro-Latin-Brazilian influences and a track that mixes all that”
MADERA MOMENTS
Like a box of chocolates with no handy description insert, you never know what your going to bite into ... musically that is. Share the joy!
PROPA-GHANDI MEETS MADERA X
Joining MADERA today is the living legend that is AKI NAWAZ, free spirit, FUN-DA -MENTAL band leader and head honcho of the World Dance defining label NATION RECORDS. "Feel free to really grill drill kill me with questions if you wish - I enjoy it like that", he said. So we did. Sort of. With questions put forward by ex label mates NATACHA ATLAS, GUY MORLEY (Yam Yam), TIM WHELAN (Transglobal Underground) & NICK DUBBULAH (Dub Colossus), some cud was chewed, some sparks did fly, but most importantly, some home truths were delivered. Respect ...
A totally tropical club mix special this week with MADERA on the ones & twos. Recorded at Bedroom Bar, Friday 6 November 2015.
