Congo Square - 08/21/2009

Episode 3

Congo Square was the only place in America where African slaves were allowed to market goods, socialize, and participate in drumming, music making, and dance in the 1700s-1800s, establishing the roots of American music. Although the historic use of the site predates jazz, it is significant because of the role the square played in New Orleans’ musical heritage and as a symbol of the early African-American contributions to the origins of jazz and other musical forms. Hi, I’m Jeff Duperon your host for a three hour journey of musical delights showcasing the music of New Orleans and the surrounding Region. Welcome…to Congo Square on listener-supported…TaintRadio.

The Bear Comes Home

NPR just ran a story Thursday evening on some good books about music “that don’t have to be boring”. The tag line was amusing and caught my attention - it turns out that the books they picked included two of my favorites - Lester Bang’s “Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung” and Rafi Zabor’s “The Bear Comes Home”.

www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105898803

When Rafi is not busy turning out books about a saxophone-playing bear, he can be found here on taintradio, putting together exquisite shows of new music during his weekly show “Updoc”, which airs Friday nights at 8pm and Tues at noon. “The Bear Comes Home” is a very unusual book from a very unusual guy — our own Rafi Zabor — give him some love and check out his book sometime if you haven’t already. Highly recommended.
