Cool Spot Selections
06.10.20
Cool Spot Selections takes you from Brazil to Bristol and from Los Angeles to Lagos. Come link up with Desmond at the cool spots in the barrios, hoods and yaads: all unified in bass and history.
In the Caribbean, “cool spots” are independent makeshift places to buy snacks, refreshments or local delicacies. Cool Spot Selections is where crucial and cultural vibrations intersect. Caribbean and Latin American sounds ground the show, while electronic and advant-garde efforts support the rising versatility and visibility of music from the African diaspora. Inspired by warm sea breezes and luxuriant jungles; corrugated steel fences lined with coconut trees and bush; every episode stays true to the foundation of rhythm. The show travels from genre-to-genre: sonic island hopping from the Lesser Antilles to mainland Central America. While capturing the wide array of efforts— past, present and future— Cool Spot Selections not only explores music, but also, cultures, languages and nations as a way to breakdown borders and promote harmony.
