All aboard for two hours of African-rooted music and news from around the world!
This is a show where we track the footprints left by African people and their descendants on the music they touched — everywhere they went, from one end of the world to the other. This is a space for dusting off old relics and test-flying the hottest new cuts from the most soulful, talented and masterful working musicians of today and yesteryear. From traditional African music to modern African, Caribbean, afro-latin, New Orleans, blues, jazz, soul, funk, rhythm & blues, rock & roll, reggae, folk, standards, singer-songwriter, classic country, political hip hop, boogie, gospel, fusion, americana, discarded pop, music from every corner of this Earth, and more (think Sun Ra), it’s all here.
So if you have a hunger for some high-intensity cultural exposure in a free-form sonic format, and you don’t mind picking up a few profound lessons about human history along the way, then there’s nothing to do but to clamber aboard, mates! Please ensure that your seat-tray tables are in the upright *and locked* position, and that your lap belts are found low & tight across your waist. Then let’s find out, together, where the good ship can take us next.
