Paula Juana is joined by legendary Tobagonian musician Hawthorne Wellington Quashie aka King Wellington.
 
King Wellington, born on January 1st 1939, in Goodwood, Tobago, has been making music since the age of 11. Singing calypso at school and performing under the name Cisco Kid, he moves to Trinidad as a teenager with a guitar and a couple of friends to play music for tourists. He first recorded in the 1960s as The Cisco, then reinvents himself as King Wellington in the 70s. He moves to New York bringing calypso to international audiences performing in places like Central Park and Greenwich Village. When moving to Boston where he studies Harmony and Composition he starts experimenting with composing calypso songs with emphasis on the role of the drums in particular but also the bass, inserting blues cords, fusing American soul music and calling the new music "Russo Funk" or "Soulcalypso". This genre of music became Soca music.

Become a fan of Rio Mira:

www.facebook.com/RioMiraMarimba/

Co-produced by Grammy nominee Ivis Flies and Grammy winner Ivan Benavides, Rio Mira is a marimba supergroup with Afro-Pacific binational heritage consisting of some of the most in-demand and respected musicians from Colombia and Ecuador. Their music is the sonic rejoining of the region known as El Pacífico Sur, one connected by history, ecology and culture and divided by the national borders of Ecuador and Colombia.

The people throughout this area have similar music, food, speech, fashion, and background, and it is no coincidence that the band takes its name from the Mira River that flows across these borders, connecting rather than dividing people and cultures. This area is home to a great many people of African descent and the rhythms of Africa have become entwined with the lilt and grooves of Colombia and Ecuador. Marimba music has become firmly established, a sound so sacred it was added to UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2015.

Marimba Del Pacifico is a beguiling showcase of this protected sound, a celebration of a unique cultural heritage found nowhere else on the planet, by a band of young musicians keeping this strong tradition alive.

QUITAPENAS, one word – all caps, four syllables – all claps, gives you a taste of their rhythmic contagion. This tropical Afro-Latin combo was born under the warm California sun in 2011. They borrow aesthetics from the radical 60s, 70s and 80s. Each song echoes a remix of history and invites one to engage in the liberating evenings of Angola, Peru, Colombia, Brazil and beyond. The name means “to remove worries.” Everybody has a "pena" and the mission of QUITAPENAS is simple: to make you dance and leave you without a worry.
