Episode 73 this week features SERGE GAINSBOURG as our FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK! Serge Gainsbourg, born Lucien Ginsburg, was the son on Jewish Ukrainian immigrants who fled to France during Nazi occupation during WW2. He learned the piano growing up, which set him off on a career steeped in music. He had tenacity, he had determination, he had passion, and he had the "it" factor. Probably one of the coolest guys ever, the man was never seen without a cigarette in his mouth. He was a writer, poet, singer, actor, director, producer... a true jack of all trades, master of all. This episode is coupled with some of the BEST EURO POP/YÉ-YÉ/BEAT/GARAGE Europe had to offer! Enjoy!

On episode 72 of the show Geoff and I are traveling to the Middle of the East to jam out to our FEATURED ARTIST - KOUROSH YAGHMAEI!! Kourosh grew up in Tehran, learning to play the Rock songs of the Ventures, Monkees, Rolling Stones and the Beatles, and performing at his school, at social events and even on Iranian television! It wasn't until he started writing his own songs that people really started paying close attention. His passion for music was real, and his ability to weave Iranian folk music with western Rock N Roll was seamless. So sit back, relax, and listen to some great world music this week, with a nice heaping dollop of Kourosh Yaghmaei!

This week Geoff and I put on our Mambo Shoes (is that a thing?) and feature BENY MORÉ!!! Beny Boy was a cuban-born singer/guitarist who moved to Mexico City where he found fame and fortune, but not without a long hard road of street hustling and performing in small, tiny clubs. He touched the lives of many with his beautiful voice, uplifting persona, and infectious rhythms. Beny passed away, unfortunately, due to his love of the drink at the early age of 43. His legacy lives on, however, and this week we pay homage to the arguable King of Mambo!
