Ifa promises they'll have a daughter who, when grown, will marry whomever she chooses — and she ultimately marries a king. But the Lijadu Sisters embedded a second message inside it: a coded plea to the Nigerian government to stop going to war and to stop destroying its citizens. Slow-burning Afrobeat as political critique, hidden in plain sight.\n\nhttps://jivetimerecords.com/2024/09/lijadu-sisters-horizon-unlimited-afrodisia-1979/\nhttps://thelijadusisters.bandcamp.com/album/horizon-unlimited", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3656419, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3656419/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-05-18T14:03:00-07:00", "show": 66752, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/66752/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Hot Pants - I’m Coming, I’m Coming, I’m Coming", "track_id": "70337021-a130-3615-a2b5-cdafbec7e809", "recording_id": "70cc9c21-c52f-4e5c-aa07-7c6d3e8506c3", "artist": "Bobby Byrd", "artist_ids": [ "ed3af6a3-1db0-48e3-bb39-2730b22cf8d9" ], "album": "Hot Pants - I’m Coming, I’m Coming, I’m Coming", "release_id": "c47b907c-8f3b-447e-ac4b-e1ec76e211db", "release_group_id": "6e9b5529-92f8-3835-9136-4cb6216590df", "labels": [ "Mojo" ], "label_ids": [ "011136ff-021d-445c-8c53-3c817d3d80fd" ], "release_date": "1971-01-01", "rotation_status": "Library", "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "Few partnerships in soul history have a stranger origin than Bobby Byrd and James Brown's. The two met in Georgia in 1952, when Brown was an inmate at a youth prison serving time for burglarizing cars and Byrd was on a local baseball team that came in to play the prison squad. Byrd befriended him, his family helped arrange Brown's release into their care, and Brown joined Byrd's gospel group — the foundation of what became The Famous Flames. This 1971 single was cut during their peak, when Byrd was also Brown's right-hand co-writer.\n\nhttps://www.npr.org/2007/09/21/14592442/a-tribute-to-james-browns-collaborator-friend", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" } ] }
