DJ Carlito's roots freedom radio


My kid brother
Carlito is a deejay, and he's posting podcasts of his sets. I'm biased, but I think they're awesome.
What you might hear -- reggae influenced punk (The Clash play Toots and the Maytals), a soul version of a rock and roll song (Wilson Pickett sings "Hey Joe"), a jazz rendition of a Spanish folk melody (Miles Davis' "Sketches of Spain") -- they're all connected! Plus Japanese bluegrass, African salsa, French hip-hop, German reggae, Cambodian disco, and Colombian rock!
Link to download for the most recent show (which is kickass), Link to archives of some other recent sets.

Link to his blog, with playlist info. link to info on one of his regular gigs in Richmond, VA, link to his radio show on WRIR in the same town, Sundays from 7-9pm EST (streamed online too).
