Many Roots Podcast 7 - The Ickey Shuffle

noreply@blogger.com (DJ Que Sí) — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 03:41:00 +0000

Ever wonder what Ickey Woods was shuffling to in the end zone? This mix represents my best guess.

For non sports fans and those born after 1990, Ickey Woods was a briefly popular running back for the Cincinnati Bengals in the late 80s and early 90s. Sort of like a one hit wonder of American football...and he always danced when he scored a touchdown.

Many Roots Podcast 5 - Happy Birthday!

In keeping with this podcast's updated mission, I bring you an episode you can truly learn and dance to. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929. There is universal agreement that Dr. King's dream led to significant improvements in U.S. civil rights. Nevertheless, the jury remains out on how much things have really improved for persons of color and other marginalized peoples.

I certainly don't know the answer, and I'm not sure a definitive one exists. This podcast makes space for a variety of voices from the U.S., South Africa and Jamaica to make their arguments, and includes a double dose of Stevie Wonder, whose song "Happy Birthday" was instrumental in the creation of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday in the U.S.

Instructions:

Preheat your home with good friends and candles. Stretch out on an ungreased dance floor. Pour on a healthy Mbaqanga sauce, sprinkle on some Afro-Latino rhythms, slice on several heavy cuts of Soukous, add a pinch of Highlife and pepper with a couple of acoustic recordings. Cook for about an hour...you can double the recipe if needed.

Special shout outs to Lizzie in Brooklyn and Moos from Global Groove for ideas and inspiration behind some of this episode's tracks, and to Devon in Boulder and Jamie in Jersey for helping to get the word out about the Many Roots Podcast.
