It is Black History Month. Go figure where this will go... Africa, and SOOO many influences!!
It is Black History Month. So what better excuse to play some of the best music on this lonely planet?! We'll spend lots of time in Africa, of course. And also explore the amazing impacts of African musics, world-wide. Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop, Gospel -- you name it. The source...
And a quick focus on Ethnic Heritage Ensemble too, coming to town this coming Thursday (Feb 18). Don't miss it!
Plenty of long sets, and long tracks today. To get your groove on. Dig it!
And, please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd love to hear from y'all.
