En la segunda mitad del siglo pasado se vivió una explosión de nuevos ritmos, estilos, instrumentación, sonidos y medios que marcaron el devenir de la música que hoy escuchamos... ¡qué os voy a contar! La sesión las hemos dividido en tres partes: en una primera nos dejaremos llevar por el pop (Roxy Music, The The, Flash & The Pan), el tecno (Rupert Hine, Thompson Twins, Inxs) y el tecno rock (Clourbox) desarrollado en las décadas de los 70, 80 y 90. La segunda nos mostrará secuencias de dance (Miairiris, Lipps Inc), funk (Lipps Inc, David Christie), sonido Filadelfia (Lipps Inc, Chaka Khan), disco (David Christie, Chaka Khan) y disco rock (Donna Summer). Y en la tercera asistiremos a esa corriente afro-occidental que invadió las pistas de baile del planeta (Barrabás, Johnny Wakelin, Redbone).
1976: Erich Honecker wird zum Vorsitzenden des Staatsrates der DDR gewählt - und Johnny Wakelin bringt "In Zaire" heraus. Der Song wird Wakelins größter Hit und ein musikalisches Denkmal für Muhammad Ali.
«In Zaire» von Johnny Wakelin machte 1976 besonders Furore - ein mit Tribal-Rhythmen und packenden Chören beladener Tribut an Boxer Muhammad Ali, der in Kinshasa zum Grössten wurde. Die ganze Geschichte um den einbeinigen Johnny Wakelin zeigt, dass nicht nur Boxer mit einem Schlag berühmt werden.
Hugo Egon Balder erzählt Geschichten und Anekdoten rund um einen Lieblingshit und seine Entstehung: "In Zaire" von Johnny Wakelin. Von Hugo Egon Balder.
Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Kravitz, Sly Stone, James Brown, Toto, Weather Report, Johnny Wakelin, The Tokens, 2 Unlimited, Todd Rundgren, The Bubble Puppy, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Steppenwolf and Link Ray are in the kitchen this week. Enjoy!

Only one man who could write the New York Times obituary of Muhammad Ali. Bob Lipsyte covered Ali for 52 years and continues our special week of coverage for The Champ. Then, writer and commentator Kavitha Davidson speaks about Ali’s cultural impact and examines the possible link between two degenerative brain diseases: Parkinson’s, which plagued Ali, and CTE, which is detected in the brains of more and more football players. Our closing song today is by Johnny Wakelin & The Kinshasa Band, “Black Superman, Muhammad Ali.”Lipsyte: Muhammad Ali Dies at 74: Titan of Boxing and the 20th Century http://nyti.ms/1sUHBHjLipsyte articles in the Times: http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/l/robert_lipsyte/index.htmlKavitha Davidson: http://twitter.com/kavithadavidsonKavitha Davidson articles in Bloomberg View: http://www.bloomberg.com/view/contributors/ARmrUVik0io/kavitha-a-davidsonMuhammad Ali, Black Superman: https://youtu.be/cq04qeVMCQE—http://edgeofsportspodcast.com | http://twitter.com/edgeofsports | http://fb.com/edgeofsportspod | email us: edgeofsports@slate.com
