<< Tropicology
Music lovers, today we have an African theme… But there is no tight focus this week. This is one of those shows where I throw together some diverse material that seems to work itself into a narrative arc. There are elements today from some of my African folk shows, but also some African funk in this episode... there are little tastes of Senegal and Ethiopia, lots of sounds from Mali, and overall a lot of unusual music featured over the next couple hours. The title of today’s episode is Afrikaleidoscope. If there is a unifying theme to the show this week, it is a focus on material from some LPs released over the past year; a nice little stack of recently issued albums to share today.
