Diving into the Pointe-A-Pitre based label Disques Célini / Aux Ondes, dedicated to preserving and reissuing traditional and folkloric Caribbean music, particularly from Guadeloupe. The label's catalogue includes rare recordings of Gwo Ka, biguine, Tumbélé, and Latin-influenced styles - and some of the few recordings by Marcel Lollia, known as Vélo, a legendary figure in Guadeloupean music and culture who left behind a limited discography.

Guinea's legendary dance band, Bembeya Jazz, are a pillar of modern West African history.  Begun in 1961 in the flush of Guinea's independence and Sekou Toure's maverick presidency, the band played under the inspired leadership of guitar giant Sekou "Bembeya" Diabate.  This program delves into Bembeya history with a focus on the band's 60s and 70s heyday, right up to more recent solo work by Sekou Diabate. In the current age of Afrobeats and digital production that is helping to supplant dance bands across the continent, Bembeya's music stands the test of time for its rich mesh of tradition and swing band drive.
