Funk was not only music made for dancing, but also to dream in colours as Jimi Hendrix would say about music.
The show includes a selection of psychedelic gems of funk music breaking through to the extrasensory side. During the emerging time of African American expression and black power, funk was the soundtrack for this assertive awareness.
Jimi Hendrix is one of the stars of this style. His blues guitar overdose with the Sandoz-made lysergic opened new ways to funk. Curtis Mayfield, George Clinton and Sly Stone were also three of the greatest pioneers of this formula. Their groups The Impressions, Funkadelic, Parliament and Sly & The Family Stone were the home of some of the inventive musicians of funk music.
Larry Graham (Graham Central Station), the creator of the clapping bass style, the extravagant and not less ingenious bass player Bootsy Collins and the guitarist psych-funk groover Eddie Hazel are some of the most remarkable musicians. Psychedelic funk is not only a men club. Betty Davis, Miles's wife, was a great singer and one of the most outstanding funk performers with her wild stage antics of high octane energy. Plus Isaac Hayes - Mr Shaft-, the Chamber Brothers of “Time Has Come” fame and the New Orleans Voodoo funk masters, The Meters, making hypnotic music that will make you dance your mind and body.

MESTIZO SOUNDS PRESENT MONDO SONHO DELIRANTE
A selection of music around the globe. From Ecuador to New Zealand with stops in Brazil, Guatemala, US, Norway, Germany, France, Morocco, Ghana, Hungary, Reunion Island, Indonesia or India and much more. Not World music but Music from the world.
The new mix is a celebration of the music I love to listen to. I call it Mondo Sonho Delirante. The name is an amalgamation of Italian and Portuguese words.
I confess that I borrowed its name from one of the songs included in it by Brazilian artist Fabio. His late sixties ode to the psychedelic experience called Lindo Sonho Delirante (kind of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds) was the source for this crazy name.
The pretending purpose is to experience a musical journey and bring the rich sounds of the world a bit closer. It may be delusional but worth the dream.

Stevland Hardaway Morris, known as Stevie Wonder, is credited as a pioneer and influence by musicians across a range of genres that includes rhythm and blues, pop, soul, gospel, funk, and jazz. Born: 13 May 1950, Saginaw, Michigan, United States.
Stevie Wonder has given me so much pleasure over many years – this mix is my personal nod of respect to a man of fantastic talent.
To give this mix a bit of a twist, all of the music in this mix is either a re-edit, remix, or a cover version of Stevie has contributed to it, I could have made this mix hours long but that is for another day – I hope you enjoy this mix as much as I had putting it together.
Happy Birthday Stevie from all of us.

THIS SHOW IS A SELECTION OF BRAZILIAN POPULAR MUSIC FROM 1964 TO 1973. A DECADE OF GREAT MUSIC IN A BACKGROUND OF POLITICAL TURMOIL AND WORLDWIDE FOOTBALL SUCCESS.
The name for the show is taken from one of the most famous songs by Marcos Valle. This is “Paz e Futebol”. I replaced Paz (peace) for Música as this is the subject matter of the show.
Peace was not a description of those years as the 10 years covered in the show were a time of intense internal social and political conflict in Brazil. Bossa Nova (New Wave), the Brazilian homegrown jazz version, was the music style that many young musicians followed and developed during these 10 years from 1964 to 1973. At the same time, foreign pop and rock infiltrated the music of some of these young musicians. This was not well accepted by everybody in Brazil. It was a time of division between the MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) and the Jovem Guarda. The latter was a music movement influenced by the American Rock & Roll and followers of Elvis Presley and Little Richard. Roberto Carlos and Tim Maia were some of the musicians that embraced the electrification of music to the chagrin of the most nationalistic and, at the same time, left-leaning musicians of the MPB that oppose the Americanisation of the Brazilian music.
Then in the late sixties, the Tropicalistas (a hippie and psychedelic sixties movement in the Brazilian music) established a link between these two groups even though in a more avant-garde and dadaist outcome. MPB and Tropicalistas were both inspired by Samba and Bossa Nova's greatest artists and composers such as Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Baden Powell and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes. In these ten years emerged an outstanding generation of talented musicians and performers. The list is immense. I highlight among them: Marcos Valle, Milton Nascimiento, Sergio Mendes, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina, Chico Buarque, Jorge Ben Gal Costa, Arthur Verocai, Gilberto Gil, Tom Ze, Alceu Valença, Astrud Gilberto, Joyce, Edu Lobo Elza Soares, Tim Maia, Naná Vasconcelos, Eumir Deodato, Wilson Simonal, Flora Purim, Airto Moreira, Maria Bethania, MPB4, Os Novos Baianos and Os Mutantes. I can continue putting more names and I will still miss some of these great Brazilian artists of the 10-year-golden period. Only I hope this selection opens the curiosity for the extraordinary music of Brazil. One of the most musical countries in the world which have attracted music fans all over the world since the days of Bossa Nova.

This is the music born of the love affair of the electric guitar blues and the Afro Cuban Rhythms played with the Congas adding sex, dance and excitement to Rock music.
In the early sixties the Mission district (San Francisco), where a young Mexican teenager and future rock star, Carlos Santana, grew up, kids gathered in the park to play music. It came naturally to play the new music of rock & roll with the conga players who added the Afro Cuban beat.
At home his parents' music of Cuban rhumba, mariachis and rancheras was integrated with the music he listened to on their radio favourites programmes of Blues, Rock & Roll, Motown & Stax music and the Rock music coming from England with the Beatles, Kinks, Stones and later on with Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone and the San Francisco own home-grown psychedelic music scene of Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. Put them all together, mix them well in the perfect doses and new music is born.
One of the first hybrids of Rock was called Latin Rock. In the uptown of NY, Latin music had already been mixed with Soul music and Rock & Roll in the creation of the Boogaloo.
The new Latin Rock was a more bluesy version of Latin music and also more guitar leaning than the Boogaloo, which is more close to the Soul music. Soon the Boogaloo and Latin Rock became a music mixing all their elements as more complex percussion units were mixed with Rock guitar and Soul.
When you hear Sympathy for the Devil by the Rolling Stones or watch Soul Sacrifice by Santana at the Woodstock festival you know this more percussive music is exciting and made for dance.
It is when Rock recovers its Roll as Joe Big Turner would sing 'Shake, rattle and roll.' The playlist of this show includes influential music that preceded this genre and some of the most vibrant Latin Rock pieces. Latin Rock was an important musical genre to invigorate the status and cultural heritage of the Spanish-speaker communities in the US (Mexican, Puerto Ricans, Cubans or Dominicans)

Jazzanova is a German Berlin-based DJ/producer collective consisting of
Alexander Barck,
Claas Brieler,
Jürgen von Knoblauch,
Roskow Kretschmann,
Stefan Leisering, and
Axel Reinemer.
They came together as a group of DJs in 1995 – Their music is characterized by nu-jazz, chill-out, as well as Latin jazz styles. Never adhering to one particular scene or sound, never pursuing one particular technique or format, they've acted as a DJ collective, a production house, a prolific remix team, radio programmers and presenters.
Later in the late 1990s, they formed as a side project Sonar Kollektiv, a German record label founded specializing in downtempo music.
Their intention was to create an independent record label and publisher connected to a worldwide independent distribution network. They have more than 200 catalogue releases over the years and the label is promoted in the United States by Prommer,
This mix will focus on Jazzanova’s later work from the stunning album ‘’In Between’’ (2002) onwards and the broken beat (ish) remixes from 1997 – 2005 will be the focus of another mix later this year.

I built Jazz Matters as my home for contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and world music — and now it’s also home to a small number of guest shows and mixes from people I rate.
Expect contemporary jazz, nu-jazz, and global sounds — with tracklists, long reads, interviews, and playlists that go deeper than the usual.
Jazz Matters is a not-for-profit hobby project I’m extremely proud of. It began in May 2021 as a weekly radio show on a London community station, and that spirit of discovery still guides everything I do.
Today it reaches 40,000+ open-minded listeners across 57 countries on 24+ platforms.
In 2026, I’m taking things up a gear with clear sections: JM Studio Notes, the Music Player & Show Notes inc Playlists, Sleeve Notes and Interviews.
A full digital relaunch from my new studio follows — and after that, Jazz Matters podcasts and mixes will be exclusive to this website.
A bold new chapter begins soon. New location. New studio. New player.
Jazz Matters — because the music, and everything around it, truly does.
