An Uncontrollable Urge Presents: AFRO SOUNDS

With my time at WMUA running out, I’m doing my part to ensure that there’s some great programming left over after I’m gone.  So, yesterday, I recorded an hour of Afro Sounds pulled mainly from West Africa but making one important stop in Colombia.  Of course, you can’t (and I don’t know why you would) do this without some Fela, but you’ll also hear music from Segun Bucknor’s Revolution, the Anambra Beats, and T.P. Orchestre Poly-Rhythmo de Cotonou, just to get you excited.  And, since I ended up having to cut it short for the radio, I thought you should get the benefit of bonus time here, so it’s actually over the 59.5-minute time-limit going set by the WMUA archives.  So, let’s get to it!

For your convenience, download an mp3 of this hour of radio programming here.
