This Island Earth
Sunday February 17th, 2019 with PeterB
Mostly music from all over the pan-African-based soundscape. Ample new stuff. A full play from Maurice Louca's STUNNING new release too.
Given it is officially 'Black History Month', there will be ample diaspora-surfing today. And LOADS of new stuff too. Plus a full play of Maurice Louca's KILLER new recording.
But, OK, let's just say it out loud ... 'Black History Month' is EVERY month. As is 'Aboriginal History Month', 'Earth Day', and sooo many more. Sayin' ...
PLEASE DO hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (it is over there ==>). We'd sure love to hear from you!!
