THE MUNDO MIX - Saturday April 25, 2009

The Mundo Mix. The Mundo Mix is simply a mix of global music I put together for my first DJ set. I wanted to share what the party goers ALL loved. This mix has Japanese Dub, Bossa Nova, Afrobeat,Romanian Gypsy Punk and other interesting sounds of the Globe.



Being a DJ is definitely fun and interesting. This set embodies the group of cultures I had the pleasure of entertaining. I met people from Brazil, Africa and Costa Rica. The music set tone for a home away from for them in the wide eyed city of Atlanta.

Enjoy,
Ms. Unique

Notes from an Email......

I believe the show is important. Atlanta is a diverse city with many cultural aspects and offers a wide range of music. I concentrate on music from over seas mostly of course, but from many different genre's. There are Japanese hip hop artists, French soul artists, East Indian classical musicians, Afro pop and of course Dance music is very huge across the board especially in Europe.

I love rap from other nations, because it isn't the norm. Check out MC Solaar Africa/France and Zaho (re-made Timbalands "Give it to Me" and Khaled's "Takin' Over, " she has a mixtape)
of Canada/France, oh and DJ Krush is a popular and unique Japanese DJ and rapper. I love sharing what I know about international artists and look forward to telling you more.

-Ms. Unique

Orquesta Macuba on Deck....

Inspiration

Where does your inspiration come from?

I went to Beaufort,SC and went into a quaint bookstore that sold old hard back books that have the old library smell on them. I really like that smell (got pics later) and wanted to take it with me.

I love travel and all its essence. Magazines, books, journals, guides etc. I found a vintage Fodor's Guide to the Caribbean: Bahamas and Bermuda written in 1964!

This is the inspiration for this Saturday's show. The music of the Carribbean. Calypso, Reggae, Dub, Soca, DanceHall, Carneval, a lot of selections past and present.

I definitely will air the voice of Bob Marley. "Is this Love," is a classic and one of my favorites.



Tune in this Saturday and EVERY Satruday night fo THE MUNDO LOUNGE on GPB Live onlinem, on 88.1fm WJSP (Atlanta Local) or on your local GPB Radio Station.
