Wonky Logic) on synths. Their music “joins the origin story of dance rhythms from Africa to recent electronic dance music, connecting African folklore and storytelling to rap, jazz and hip hop“, (Bandcamp liner notes). There’s also traditional Gnawa ritual healing music Morocco, which grooves hard on some rockenroll by Moroccan-born, New York-based singer/composer/sintir (bass lute) player Hassan Hakmoun.  \nThen, listen to music from Ndox Electrique, and their blend of electronically-infused avant-rock and the intense, ritualistic vocal chants and rhythmic percussion of Senegal’s n'doëp community. “On the stage, Ndox Electrique calls on the spirits to heal the modern world before them, with the aid of traditional incantations, dances, percussion, electric guitars, and laptops”, (leguesswho.com). Also, hear music from Tunisia – traditional Banga music (where Banga means \"huge volume) with brutalist electronics from Ifriqiyya Electrique.\nFrom the Soundwalk Collective, a rotating cast of New York-based musicians, hear hypnotic chants of the Sufi Group of Sheikh Ibrahim, recorded in the holy city of Harar, Ethiopia, coupled with Philip Glass at the piano. It's from, Mummer Love, a record on which Patti Smith also features. That, and more. - Caryn Havlik\nProgram #4827, African Rhythms / Western Sounds (First aired 12/15/2023)\nARTIST: Hassan HakmounWORK: Zidokan (Just Go) [1:00]RECORDING: UnitySOURCE: Healing RecordsINFO: Available at AppleMusic, Amazon.com\nARTIST: ONIPAWORK: No Commando [1:00]RECORDING: Off the GridSOURCE: Real World LimitedINFO: https://lnk.to/RW253\nARTIST: Ndox ElectriqueWORK: Ngor Diouf Ya Demon [5:11]RECORDING: Tëdd ak Mame Coumba Lamba ak Mame Coumba MbangSOURCE: Bongo Joe RecordsINFO: ndoxelectrique.bandcamp.com\nARTIST: Majid BekkasWORK: Soudani Manayou (Cervo Edit) [8:05]RECORDING:Soundani Manayou-Mrhaba (Cervo Edits)SOURCE: Banana HillINFO: bananahill.bandcamp.com/album/soundani-manayou-mrhaba-cervo-edits\nARTIST: Hassan HakmounWORK: Zidokan (Just Go) [6:18]RECORDING: UnitySOURCE: Healing RecordsINFO: Available at AppleMusic, Amazon.com\nARTIST: Ifriqiyya ElectriqueWORK: Moola Nefta [5:50]RECORDING: Laylet el BooreeSOURCE: Glitterbeat RecordsINFO: ifriqiyya-electrique.bandcamp.com\nARTIST: Patti Smith, Soundwalk Collective, Mulatu Astatke, Philip Glass, The Sufi Group of Sheikh IbrahimWORK: Bad Blood [7:54]RECORDING: Mummer LoveSOURCE: Bella UnionINFO: bellaunion.ochre.store \nARTIST: Ndox ElectriqueWORK: Sam Sa Nga Mboro [6:43]RECORDING: Tëdd ak Mame Coumba Lamba ak Mame Coumba MbangSOURCE: Bongo Joe RecordsINFO: ndoxelectrique.bandcamp.com"}
