Geraldo Pino - "Power To The People"



Afro-Funk luminary Geraldo Pino often seems to get lost in the shadow of his great contemporary, Fela Kuti. While Fela received much recognition outside of Africa (in the U.S., England, and elsewhere), Pino remains virtually unknown in the West today. Interestingly, Pino was one of the first (and most successful) African musicians to incorporate the sounds of American Funk and Soul into his own music. At the time, Highlife Jazz was the predominant sound found in the clubs. Pino (later with the help of Fela and a cohort of other notable West-African groups) adopted the tougher rhythms pioneered by James Brown, mixing the new grooves with traditional African styles. The fresh sounds caught on and the popularity shifted towards the funkier dance bands. Fela recalls his early admiration of Pino in a passage excerpted from
Carlos Moore's Fela, Fela, This Bitch of a Life (1982):

"I was playing highlife jazz when Geraldo Pino came to town in '66 or a bit earlier with soul. That's what upset everything man. He came to town with James Brown's music, singing, Hey, hey, I feel all right, ta ta ta ta... And with such equipment you've never seen, man. This man was tearing Lagos to pieces....[Pino] came in a big way: in a convertible Pontiac; you know, one of those big American cars, man. Flashy, new equipment. Lots of bread. He was doing his thing, man. He had everything I didn't have. After that Pino tore up the scene, there wasn't shit I could do in Lagos. So I went to Ghana in '67... At that time that's where the action and the bread was. So, we went to Ghana. After seeing this Pino, I knew I had to get my shit together. And quick!"

With "Power to the People," Pino (along with his dynamic backing band, The Heart Beats) unleashed a monster of a groove. The relentlessly funky drums and bass are engulfed by waves of psychedelic wah wah guitar while the organ and vocal weave in and out. If this righteous stomp doesn't get you on your feet and dancing, I urge you to check your pulse to make sure you are still with us...

Below is a video interview with master percussionist and Heart Beats drummer Francis Fuster.

The Meters - "Little Old Money Maker"




I thought I'd start this first entry of Shakedown Sounds with a single that was largely responsible for arousing my interest in heavy funk and soul music (and would later lead to a serious weakness for vinyl of the 7 inch variety). The Meters are regarded as godfathers of the raw groove and deservedly so. The hard-hitting four-piece were masters of creating short (usually under the three minute mark) blasts of pure syncopated funk that could only come from the Crescent City. Distilling the traditional second line rhythms of New Orleans funeral procession music, they minimized solos and vocals in favor of establishing the deepest possible grooves. Anchored by the thunderous drums of Joseph "Zigaboo" Modeliste and the basslines of George Porter Jr., the lineup was completed by the great Art Neville on organ and dynamic guitarist Leo Nocentelli. The group's groundbreaking rhythmic interplay (arguably second only to the mighty James Brown) and powerhouse compositional style have established them as a leading influence in the contemporary soul scene. They also rank amongst the most sampled artists in the history of hip-hop. All this aside, The Meters simply bring the heaviest gut bucket funk jams ever committed to wax. 'Nough said. Stir your gumbo, pull up a chair, and take a listen for yourself.

Tuesday, March 3, 2009 - Eli Polonsky

To kick off Women's History Month, today's show featured women artists. The only problem was that due to my full weekend of work (and subsequent exhaustion), once again I had no time to prepare in advance. I didn't even decide to do this feature until a half-hour before the show, so I grabbed all the music on the fly while on the air, and it sounds it. Still, I got to play some great music and fulfill some of the requests that I could find.

01. Fifty-Foot Hose - Rose (voc: Nancy Blossom)
02. United States Of America - The Garden Of Earthly Delights (voc: Dorothy Moskowitz)
03. Ultimate Spinach - Ballad Of The Hip Death Goddess (voc: Barbara Jean Hudson)
04. Jefferson Airplane - Lather (voc: Grace Slick)
05. Chicken Shack - I'd Rather Go Blind (voc: Christine "Perfect" McVie)
06. Cold Blood - You've Got Me Humming (voc: Lydia Pence)
07. Delaney & Bonnie - Piece Of My Heart (voc: Bonnie Bramlett)
08. Big Brother & The Holding Company - I Need A Man To Love (voc: Janis Joplin)
09. Nico - Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams
10. Marianne Faithfull - Something Better
11. Barbara Keith - The Bramble And The Bush (the lyrics say Rose)
12. Bonnie Raitt - Love Me Like A Man
13. Janis Joplin - To Love Somebody
14. Marianne Faithfull - The Last Thing On My Mind
15. Joni Mitchell - Michael From Mountains
16. (another Bonnie Raitt tune that I didn't plan to play)
17. Laura Nyro - Stone Soul Picnic
18. Tracy Nelson - Down So Low
19. Mother Earth - I'll Be Long Gone (voc: Tracy Nelson)
20. Mary McCaslin - Circle Of Friends
21. Janis Ian - When The Party's Over
22. Buffy St. Marie - Until It's Time You To Go
23. The Seekers - I'll Never Find Another You (voc: Judith Durham)
24. Joy Of Cooking - Closer To The Ground (voc: Toni Brown & Terry Garthwaite)
25. Fairport Convention - Who Knows Where The Time Goes (voc: Sandy Denny)

I will continue to feature women artists next week as Women's History Month continues, so I can fulfill some requests I didn't get to, and some new ones as well! Your suggestions are welcome! And, hopefully I'll be better organized beforehand!

Thanks for listening!
