Two of today’s albums.
WELCOME!
Today I’ll start with a great cover of an Emeneya song followed by a sampling of styles from Djo Nolo to Extra Musica including a nice song from Alain & Bouro Mpela’s questionably named “Mortel Combat” album.
Later in the program, I have a medley of classic songs revived and revised by others. You’ll get a chance to hear my friend Wawali Bonane’s excellent version of Bokelo’s “Sandoka” in that mix.

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!
