Electronic music from Africa + new releases

This afternoon we start of with a really wonderful and quirky album of new electronic music from Sudan, and inspired by those sounds we stay in Africa for just over an hour of otherwordly electronic sounds older and newer. We also hear a delightful release of older songs from Vietnam and a smorgasbord of other newly released recordings spanning the globe.

Cool shoooow as always! Man' Reflecting on your comment that you do not know Vietnamese. The COOL thing about music is you do not need to understand all the words to understand the meaning!
