African, Latin and Caribbean music.

I have a couple of interesting eclectic mixes for you. During the first hour, I’ll be giving away a pair of tickets to the upcoming release party for the new CD by RVA’s own Afro Zen All Stars.

Tickets are gone!

In the second hour, we’ll go on the road with Le Yapi Jazz of Cote d’Ivoire and many others in Volume One of a possible series of programs devoted to the classiest bands, the “Jazz” bands of Africa. We’ll go to the two Congos, Tanzania, Guinea and more.

African, Latin & Caribbean music.

Heavy on the African music today with new music from Burkina Azza, Bonga and more!

Starting off with a rare 1983 live track by Youssou N’Dour et Le Super Etoile de Dakar live in Abidjan!

Pile of random LPs on my floor, music from Gabon.

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!

WELCOME!

Every week we are bringing you African, Latin & Caribbean music for your Sunday evening.

Today we start with some Colombian women singers. We also have tracks from Cameroon, Haiti, and some classic rarities from Benin.

If you are at the barbeque, don’t miss the Dan Satch Opara track later in the program. It might just cook your food for you!

Nowhere else but WRIR!
