Wes Phillips

I just discovered the World Passport podcast at ethnomusic.podmatic.com, which has tons of cool Calypso, Kompa, Highlife, jazz, and Kinshasha guitar music for your delectation and delight. I've been listening to "J'Ouvert Morning Calypso"—classic old-school Calypso—all morning, which is coaxing me out of my first-cold-of-the-winter funk. "Suck Me Soucouyant," indeed.

And yes, Stephen, it has lots of classic salsa, too!

The programs, at least in the genres I'm familiar with, seem very carefully constructed. I'm looking forward to hearing the six (!) programs dedicated to Havana son.
