In this episode, we celebrate the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela through the music of South Africa from the late 1950s through the dismantling of apartheid. The first sets showcase artists who were popular at the time and often meaningful in the liberation struggle of black South Africans. The final set includes songs inspired by Madiba and performed by artists from around the world.

Nelson Mandela is one of my most beloved heroes, so creating this program felt like a labor of love. During the show, I refer to a movie from a decade ago called Amandla! If you are interested in learning more about the connection between music and South African freedom, I encourage you to check it out.

This might be it for me for 2013. Thanks to all of you who have stayed tuned in!

Also, I have a contest for you. I got the fourth track off of a mixtape that was given to me without any information about the music. If you know the name of the song or the artist, please post it in the comments.

As always, PSAs are edited out and the tracklist follows:

While the Twisted Groove is a program I only occasionally sit in on, I have come to love doing this show. The musical format strays just far enough away from what I typically play to push me, and yet provides me with an opportunity to add value for the regular listeners by incorporating styles they may not typically hear.

2. Dr. Feel Good - Travie McCoy (Feat. Cee-Lo Green)

Greetings, listeners! You've got a very special podcast to listen to here. In honor of National Library Week, way back in April, I did an hour-long radio show exclusively using songs I'd borrowed from the Santa Fe Public Library. I'm really proud of this show -- it may be as close as I'll ever come to literacy activism, if there is such a thing.

If you like what you hear (or even if you don't) I encourage you to browse the music selection at your own local library. You might be surprised by what you find!

Here's what I found:

1. Lollipop - The Chordettes
2. Cumbanchero - Rubén González
3. Tchimurenga Zimbabwe - Sam Mangwana
4. Drive it Home - Snooks Eaglin
5. Marimba Song - Amampondo
6. Tiris Nibreeha - Tiris
7. Samba Triste - Ana de Holanda
8. Canaveral - De Madera
9. Fools Fall in Love - Dennis Brown
10. Ba E Soro - Omogo & The Res Q Ranjazz Family
11. Tomorrow Robins Will Sing - Stevie Wonder
12. Soy sólo para tí - Victor Boa y su Música
13. I Can Understand It - New Birth
