Meat Puppets Live at WFMU (2019)

This week we continue to explore the WFMU live Monty Hall vaults and this time we recognize AZ roots even though the Meat Puppets no longer claim this desert as home. From the show’s Youtube page:

“Originally consisting of vocalist and guitarist Curt Kirkwood, vocalist and bassist Cris Kirkwood, and drummer Derrick Bostrom, the Meat Puppets are one of the most compelling, original and enduring bands in rock history. The trio was joined by Curt's son Elmo and keyboardist Ron Stabinsky when they played WFMU's Monty Hall on May 18, 2019.”

Bassekou Kouyaté & Ngoni Ba Live at KEXP (2015)

I first came across Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba when doing the Global Elite Music Radio Podcast Supershow and featured their track “Miri” in February, 2019 on Episode 37.

Bassekou Kouyate started playing the Ngoni at age 12. The Ngoni is a traditional Malian guitar. The body of the instrument is made of wood or calabash with dried animal skin head stretched over. This traditional instrument is believed by many to be the precursor to the banjo.

In 2015, Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba played a live set for KEXP and today seems like as good a time as any to revisit that wonderful set.

Setlist:

  • Musow Fanga

  • Jama ko

  • Abe Sumaya

  • Siran Fen

  • Host: Rhythma
