Last night of SXSW 2011 and still plenty of one-venue hang time

Taj Weekes & Adowa (12mid) hail from St. Lucia where they absorbed the soca sounds of Lord Kitchener and the Mighty Sparrow, A Waterlogged Soul Kitchen is their latest. From Johannesburg, South Africa, Tidal Waves (11pm) specializes in original roots reggae with the influence of traditional African sounds like mbaqanga and maskandi. Black Gandhi (10pm), from Barcelona, Spain, has been sweeping across Europe in recent years delivering message music with a pop/rock touch. The group’s new disc is Into Light. The leader of Lynval Golding & Contra Coup (9pm) is the former guitarist/vocalist for the Specials of 2 Tone fame who is now based in Seattle. His Contra Coup is largely a group of Austin musicians formed a few years back to tour with the Gladiator’s Clinton Fearon. Fellow Austin reggae veterans and regular house band Mau Mau Chaplains (8pm) specialize in the old-school roots sounds reminiscent of Toots, Third World, and Dennis Brown.
