A court in Hong Kong has sentenced the tycoon and pro-democracy campaigner Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison. Mr Lai, who is a British citizen, was found guilty of foreign collusion and publishing seditious material, but his family says it was a political trial. The British government has expanded its visa scheme to more people living in Hong Kong in response to the sentence. Also: the Japanese prime minister Sanae Takaichi says she hopes to pursue major reforms after her resounding victory in the general election on Sunday; the dilemma for prosecutors in France as identical twins, with nearly the same DNA, are accused of murder; and the Ghanaian guitarist, composer and band leader Ebo Taylor has died at the age of 90.The Global News Podcast brings you the breaking news you need to hear, as it happens.

This week on Transmissions: Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, the duo behind the label and concert series Jazz Is Dead. Founded in 2017, Jazz Is Dead began releasing new work by jazz artists frequently sampled in rap and hip-hop in 2020, including releases from legendary players like Roy Ayers, Azymuth, Gary Bartz, Lonnie Liston Smith, Tony Allen, and more. On January 31st, the duo released JID022, featuring new music from 88-year-old Ghanian highlife and afrobeat master Ebo Taylor, and on April 4th, they will release JID023, featuring Brazilian vocalist Hyldon. Recorded in analog at Linear Labs, the Jazz is Dead series does more than pair younger players with established elders; it showcases the powerful link that connects musicians across decades.  As producers, musicians, podcasters, and much more, both Ali and Adrian are heavy hitters. Muhammad is of course known for his work with A Tribe Called Quest, Lucy Pearl, and The Midnight Hour, a duo with Younge. And of course Adrian is an accomplished musical force too, check out his work with The Delfonics, Souls of Mischief, Ghostface Killah, and Kendrick Lamar.  We taped this conversation in January, in the hazy, strange weeks after the terrible fires that tore through the city of Los Angeles. That's where our conversation starts—reflecting on history lost, and what it takes to preserve it, and also, why they don't necessarily think of Jazz Is Dead as an archival or preservationist project in the first place. You can read a full transcript of this conversation at Aquarium Drunkard, where you'll find 20 years worth of playlists, recommendations, reviews, interviews, podcasts, essays, and more. With your support, here's to another decade. Subscribe at Aquarium Drunkard.  Stream a playlist of bumper music featured on Transmissions, as well as selections from our guests.

This Hip Deep edition, based on field work in Ghana, tells the story of how highlife turned into Afro-funk. Guitarist/composer/bandleader Ebo Taylor, is our principle guide, taking us to his hometown Saltpond to explore the roots of his complex sound, and recounting his highlife years, and his deep study of American jazz in London in the early 60s—all part of a remarkable mix. We also hear from Ghanaian Afro-funk pioneer Gyedu Blay Ambolley and other observers and veterans of this history. Among the figures that interweave this story are James Brown, his most successful African successor Geraldo Pino, and, of course, the creator of Nigerian Afrobeat (a variety of Afro-funk), Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Produced by Banning Eyre. APWW #667

Von Berlin aus operiert dieses afrikanisch-europäisch-lateinamerikanische Septett, dessen Mitglieder bereits mit Legenden wie Tony Allen oder Ebo Taylor zusammenarbeiteten. Die Musiker um Sänger und Percussionist Eric Owusu und Bassist bzw. Produzent Yannick Nolting verschmelzen in ihrem Sound die unterschiedlichsten Einflüsse zu einer zeitgenössischen Mischung aus Highlife, Jazz und Soul. Heute sind diese Botschafter des Groove als unsere Lokalmatadore zu Gast in Potsdam-Babelsberg. Damit sorgten die sieben bereits bei diversen renommierten Festivals wie dem South by Southwest SXSW oder Supersonic Jazz für Aufsehen; eine große Tour für den Sommer 2024 ist bereits geplant, die sie neben Auftritten im Londoner Jazz Cafe oder dem Paradiso in Amsterdam im August auch nach Berlin führt. Dabei werden sie dann ihr neuestes Album "Ye Ankasa/We Ourselves" auch live vorstellen, das vor wenigen Tagen erschienen ist, und für dessen Aufnahmen sie sich mit dem legendären ghanaischen Multiinstrumentalisten und Produzenten Kwame Yeboah von der Kwashibu Area Band und manch anderen spannenden Gästen zusammentaten. Ihre Mission: "Bei Jembaa Groove dreht sich alles um positive Vibes. Wir versuchen, Positivität, Zusammengehörigkeit und Respekt zu fördern, aber auch andere und uns selbst daran zu erinnern, dass das Schicksal in unseren Händen liegt und dass man Dinge nicht als selbstverständlich erachten kann."

Greetings Glocal Citizens! My guest this week is Ghanaian-Briton, DJ, lecturer, cultural writer and researcher Kobina “Kobby” Ankomah Graham. Raised between the alternate realities of Ghana and Britain, he is passionately curious about music, African culture, and counterculture. Through almost two decades of lecturing, researching (https://kobbygraham.com/teaching-academia/), public speaking, developing creative projects, curating music (https://kobbygraham.com/selected-creative-and-cultural-activities/) and freelance writing (https://kobbygraham.com/freelance-writing/), he has championed arts and culture. He has explored this idea in settings ranging from classrooms to international conferences, and in numerous workshops, panels, podcasts, publications, and dance floors. Along the way, he has been profiled by platforms like the BBC, written for others like The Guardian (https://kobbygraham.com/freelance-writing/), received a Miles Morland African Writers Scholarship (https://milesmorlandfoundation.com/entry-requirements) and DANIDA (https://ghana.um.dk/en/danida-en) funding for Ph.D. research on Ghana's alternative music scene. In doing these things, he is creating pathways for young African creatives, cultural practitioners and journalists to follow. These sentiments come through poetically in this two-part conversation offering wonder-filled insight into a life lived in Accra in view of an evolving arts and culture scene impacting both the local and global creative landscapes.

African music is a deep well that never runs dry, the original source from which so much other great music has flowed, from funk, soul and jazz to reggae, blues and rock'n'roll. We'll hear a couple of classics today from Ghana's Ebo Taylor and Nigeria's Peter King, followed by raucous Auckland punk from Guardian Singles and some sunburnt indie psychedelic folk from Tom Lark.

This Hip Deep edition, based on field work in Ghana, tells the story of how highlife turned into Afro-funk. Guitarist/composer/bandleader Ebo Taylor, at 77, is our principle guide, taking us to his hometown Saltpond to explore the roots of his complex sound, and recounting his highlife years, and his deep study of American jazz in London in the early 60s—all part of a remarkable mix. We also hear from Ghanaian Afro-funk pioneer Gyedu Blay Ambolley and other observers and veterans of this history. Among the figures that interweave this story are James Brown, his most successful African successor Geraldo Pino, and, of course, the creator of Nigerian Afrobeat (a variety of Afro-funk), Fela Anikulapo Kuti. Produced by Banning Eyre. [APWW #667] [Originally aired 2013]
