MBE Oct. 20: Great ShakeOut, free Afro Roots action, Global Beat Mexico

Groove out to some eternal soul-shakers à la “I Feel the Earth Move” by Carole King, and “Earthquake (eq)” by Pegasus Warning in honor of International ShakeOut Day. We’re practicing earthquake safety with millions of people worldwide the only way we know how — ensuring that you have the best possible tunes by your side as you “Drop, cover and hold on.” As an extra treat after such an intense drill, we want to send you to check out Afro Roots genius, Rocky Dawuni. We’re giving away 5 pairs of tickets to catch his signature magic in action at the Soka Performing Arts Center on Saturday, Oct. 29. Enter here, we’re rooting for you!

Plus, it's time for another trip down south via Global Beat Mexico. Host Raul Campos is joined for the second week in a row by Moni Saldaña to deliver hand-curated, seasonally appropriate cuts from Marion Raw, Parque de Cometas and Pepe Pecas.

And finally, remember all that gushing we did about KCRW Music’s Executive Producer Ariana Morgenstern's birthday? Turns out our beloved weather man, David Lynch, couldn’t agree more.
