This here right now, yes, is Glass Houses. Number 11. My favorite. Re-imagined from the piano for two marimbas by Toronto duo Taktus.

But looking at the time of your post, Pete, I think you might have been hearing Bird In Kumasi by Vula Viel at that moment.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
If the thing you heard had a bass guitar and drums, it was Vula Viel. If you hear only marimbas, it's Taktus!

I think that was the Mauskovic Dance Band. Pretty groovy stuff!

Groovy as one is to expect from RobB! Great stuff.

I just found out that Nigerian highlife funkster Dr. Victor Olaiya passed away earlier this week. Sad news.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Yikes! Sorry to hear it, Manmohan. Also the guy from Ladysmith Black Mambazo last week!

Joseph Shabalala.

Indeed! People aging, except for CKCU DJs of course.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
I'd love to believe that, Manmohan, but the old man staring back at me in the mirror says it's not true!
