Summer is heating up, as is our thirst for new sounds. Digging in forgotten boxes can dry out your fingers...but it can also produce some interesting results!
Africa, as a whole, has produced some intensely inspiring, trance-inducing, spirit-shaking sounds.
Here’s a selection of 45s that I’ve slowly been acquiring since my ears were first dazzled by the sounds of Fela...one of the most important and talented men to ever live.
So, splash a little water on your face, and strap on those headphones. Open up your mind, your eyes, and your ears...stretch your legs, take a deep breath. Let the sonic sunshine move you. Enjoy the rhythms from beyond...
As always, thanks for lending your ears, hearts, and open-minds. This ride wouldn’t be the same without you...
