The Motherland Influence presents:
We start out here in the west with a couple of songs from Colombia and Guadeloupe, then we’re going to dive into some music from Gabon. Hopefully you’ll hear something new to your ears as I pick and choose through LPs and CDs.
Later we’ll hear a few songs from the Essiebons label of Ghana and, if there’s time, more more more!
