The Motherland Influence presents:
African, Latin & Caribbean music.
Let’s start with a classic from Guinea’s Sombory de Fria!
Do you love the music of Arsenio Rodriguez? Me too. We’ll have a track from him as well as salsa from Venezuela and a couple of rare songs from cassettes to celebrate Madagascar’s Independence Day.
Listen for another rarity: the late Congolese guitarist Nene Tshakou recorded with Nigerian artists in 1986.
