My session for the SBS Chill digital radio station earlier this April is now downloadable on Soundcloud. A minimal, spacious Franco/Latin electronica mix, woven through with poetics ranging from Français, Español, Québécois, to Iraqi poet Nazik Al-Malaika and US pioneer Laurie Anderson…

This month’s Groovalizacion dance takes us into the heart of mother Africa. Voices beating the skin of the drum, calling it jazz, hip hop and afrobeat rhythms, poets calling from the heart of the heart … Poets, hip hop artists and musicians from South Africa, Cape Town, Senegal, Burundi, Cameroon, Uganda, Nigeria, The Congo, via Canada, the US and the UK…

The February podcast of La Danza Poetica focuses on Brazil, em Português. New spoken word from the Ponte Aérea Elétrica project (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro), Rio hip hop, São Paulo poetas, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, the folk/song traditions of the Nordeste, and the avant-pop-mangue-folk Tropicália of now!

Happy new year, to all those who give of their stories, and to all those who listen!

Made in the creatively charged atmosphere of my artist friend’s Sydney studio, surrounded by paintings of ocean from the point of view of a hot air balloon (take a moment to visit WayneAshton.com and you’ll see what I mean) – La Danza Poetica 004 sails on the wind instruments of drum, string and voice, pausing to dive into the stories of griots and musicians from Ethiopia, Ghana, Botswana, the Sudan, Zimbabwe and Jamaica.

On Groovalizacion, La Danza Poetica 002 trips through the Paris underground, or underbelly. Á voix basse, the poetry and melody of Français, Occitan, and English, to the tune of recordings made on my many travels on the Métro last month. New spoken word from France, and some honoured ghosts.

Happy to announce a new monthly podcast for Groovalizacion Radio!

Groovalizacion has been my web radio of choice for a while now. With a refreshing diverse global playlist and generous attitude Groovalizacion is “a music lab, a meeting place and one of cultural exchange.” Groovalizacion’s doors “are wide open to the curious…” – the perfect place for a curious Lapkat!

I do not speak Portuguese. While I’m focusing my learning brain on Spanish, Italian (with some French distraction) it’s going to take a little while to get to that study, although I think it one of the most beautiful of poetic languages. For now, it’s…

Campecho - a Colombian project - photo by Roberto Ochoa, design by Lauragrafica, Colombia.. (Canalh)

A chat with Toulouse musician, dj, producer Canalh about his cumbia mix for a recent episode of Dialectic, took me on an unexpected tangent this month!

This week on Dialectic, a dreamy and melodious two hours in the hands of two dexterous music manipulators. In the first hour 555 brings us a fantastical Asian mix from “trans-continental groove maniac” (and Burning Man regular) GlobalRuckus - who is about to hit our shores at the…

Brendan (555) features elBarba Dub (Argentina) – I loved this hour from 555. ElBarba Dub brilliantly manipulates sounds in his sets in realtime, including his own voice. His electro-cumbia remix of Toto’s ‘Africa’ made me whoop out loud! In the second hour I take us…
