Odetta was one of the most important folk musicians of the 20th century who passed in 2008. I can't say that folk music is the top of my list but this isn't a folk tune at least not in terms of the performance - because Take Me to the Pilot is a classic traditional tune. The arrangement here is unique and taken from the 1970 album Odetta Sings.

Oteil Burbridge is the bass player for the Allman Brothers Band and for his own band featuring his brother Kofi. A cool piece of modern funk.

Les Bantous de la Capitale is one of the longest-lasting and most influential groups in the musical history of the Congo (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). Formed in 1959, the band played a major role in the introduction and growing popularity of boucher, which vitalized the Cuban-influenced rumba, and soukous. This rollicking bit of rhumba flys out of the speakers.
