Spring, Ethiopia, Séga, the King of Malian Blues, and general randomness.
This T.I.E. episode features music for Spring, a look at Ali Farka Touré's incredible legacy (10 years in after his death), extended visits to Ethiopia, and Mauritius in the 70's. Plus ample semi-random gear shifting, of course.
Please hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (it is over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!
