Hello Music Lovers, I am back after a one week break...
Today's show is a shade of things to come. As we prepare to enter our second year of broadcasting in the next month, I am developing some new themes for my DJ bag of tricks. While most of the first year has been focused on deep dives into specific genres from Africa, Brazil, and Latin America, this year I will be doing more shows blending sounds from all three areas. Today is such a show.
Each set in today's show will start with a song with a prominent drum line... then we will follow that groove down the proverbial rabbit hole until the next mic break. Lots of danceable grooves on today's show, including more cumbias from Colombia, Afrobeat, and a few tasty surprises.
