The Motherland Influence presents:

The Motherland Influence: April 30, 2023 5:00-7:00 PM

You can hear a mix of music like this only on WRIR

WELCOME!

We’ve got your dose of African, Latin & Caribbean music ready for you today!

Baba Commandant and the Mandingo Band will be in Richmond in May, Plena Libre is bringing down the house in NOLA and an old, rare and somewhat astonishing Sammy Massamba LP that I’ve had since the 80s has just been reissued. Of course there’s a lot more!

Your donations to WRIR make it all possible.

THANK YOU!

You can still donate so if you like what you hear, please do!
