Unshazamable Afro & Latin 45s with @la.bomba.bristol

Veteran Bristol DJ John Stapleton and Boom Operator teamed up just before the pandemic, bonded by their love of obscure records from around the globe. Their (strictly original vinyl) monthly Bristol session, La Bomba, is now regarded as one of Europe’s premier nights for original funky vinyl and has hosted many of the world’s top diggers and DJs...

“A selection of unshazamable (at the time of recording) bangers from Latin America, West & East Africa. 15 snapshots of 1970s pressure that you may not have heard before.”

This month’s edition of my Field Trip show for Totally Wired Radio has now been archived to Mixcloud... all 45s this month - records from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Chile, Italy, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Switzerland, UK, and the USA.

Apologies for the odd gap and so on - I couldn’t find the headphones so had to record it by eye.
