Boats in Colombia                                                                        Boats in Cabo Verde

WELCOME!

The Motherland Influence plays African, Latin & Caribbean music every week.

Today we’ll start by listening to music from Colombia and Cabo Verde then more from Colombia and Cabo Verde,

From accordions to horns, great vocals and deep basslines, complex percussion and guitars. From cumbia to funana – and a whole lot more – there’s a lot of commonality in the music we will play for you today.

You can kick back or kick up some dust.

Later in the program, we’ll spin off to Brazil, Angola, Haiti, Peru and more.

WELCOME!

We start off with a celebration of the late Sory Bamba: songwriter, trumpet player, flautist, leader of Kanaga de Mopti.

He made great music throughout the 70s in Mali.

Today’s first song is a tribute to Sory Bamba by the members of his band.

And then? More!

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.
