Brothers and Sisters of World Revolution Radio we’re
on the sonic offensive. Transmitting from Cuba where freedom
of speech is a prison cell with no light. But we are the
light of a world hunger for truth. Like the voice of Tango
Carlos Gardel who sadly died in Colombia when his plane
skid off the runaway. Nowadays Argentina has the Gardel
Awards for music artist fuck the Grammy’s because
music is universal. Then a mix of Argentina with a French
touch Gotan Project with Epoca from their 1st album the
sounds and evolution of Tango on the worlds hottest dance
floors. Then Waiting in the garden of monster with an intro
from Bela Lagouise is Pan Regaliz from Spain part of the
small progressive rock movement. . Sisters and Brothers
the world is ours to listen to South Africa hear us now
as we continue with Freedom’s Children from 1971 long
haired white kids singing the blues under the chains of
apartheid .When Freedom’s Children went to the UK
to tour because of their governments policies they weren’t
allow to play any gigs for the same reasons . And in South
Africa the conservative white government sought to control
the hippie movement and arrest them for any reason Freedom’s
Children have long been hail in South Africa as their best
export of rock but their sounds and ideas were too dangerous
for those trying times. Even a fire in the EMI vaults in
the 70’s that destroy master tapes of the South African
rock scene it didn’t silence the movement. And we
won’t be silence at World Revolution Radio

Right on Planet Hemp that’s was O sagaz homen fumaca
a dab of dub. Marcelo d2 who went solo is now the biggest
Hip Hop star in Brazil. But in Planet Hemp those where the
days of riots seized albums by the government and a shot
to death band member these are the streets of Rio de Janeiro
and the shanty towns. And Hip Hop and Favela beats are medium
of a history of neglect and abuse. Being black in Brazil
in sync with American slavery but with the ultra violence.
But we began with Meringue from the Dominica. Then from
New York Yerba Buena compose of Cubans and Puerto Ricans
with the song Mi Burrito from the album Island Life. And
then straight into Brazil to the band Curumin from the album
Achados e Perdidos then the dubbest bongo in Rio Planet
Hemp. It’s Dj Capote on World Revolution Radio The
Propaganda has Begun!!!

Hollywood’s filtered vision of one of America’s
greatest warriors General Patton leads us into onward Red
Guard from the mighty USSR. Both voices of propaganda would
eventually leave the world, shivering in a cold war.
Amon-Duul bastard children born of a city on the divide
fault line of a world enslaved in fear. Leaves us yearning
for Niyaz the song Nahan a Sufi poem leads us back to the
now
"Rejoice for he who
knows truth, knows that bliss begets bliss, and today arrives
as witness to the long journey behind it so have mercy for
a seeker must travel far in search of truth”
