Haven’t done an all-African show in a while so I decided to do one for today.
As usual, you can listen to the show online or download it to an mp3 player and listen later.
No playlist today. Not yet, anyway.
Listen to the previous show here.
I’m learning about podcasting for work so hopefully sometime soon, you iPodders might be able to get these shows automatically.

We have a somewhat melancholy show today, dedicated to the memory of the South African reggae superstar, Lucky Dube, who was murdered last week in an attempted carjacking. Should you wish to send a message of condolence to Lucky’s family, please email Lucky@gallo.co.za or send a fax to +27 (0) 11 340 9471.

Got a brand new show for y’all’s listening pleasure.
The first segment features some Roma (Gypsy), French, and Arabic tracks. Then we move on to Disco, Reggae, and Hip-Hop: one track by Sierra Leonean rapper Problem M (rapping in Krio, a Sierra Leonean dialect) and the other by NY/DC poet/rapper/all-around-entertainer KOMplex, Mr. Keep On Moving. I met him a couple of times at open mic events in DC and he was impressive enough for me to buy his CD both times. I also put in one of my favorite tracks by the Spanish group Macaco who, for those of you who live in the DC area, will be performing at Lisner Auditorium on October 26. The last segment’s pretty much a random mix of everything I couldn’t get into the first two segments.

I’ve been a bit lazy in getting a show out since I got back from vacation.
It was Trinidad and Tobago’s independence anniversary a couple of weeks ago so the first segment of the show is all Trini music. Got some Mighty Sparrow and Lord Kitchener as well as Rikki Jai (Track 11) and the unofficial Trini national anthem (Track 07). Big up to TnT!!!!

So today, I decided to only play female musicians. It felt like male musicians have been dominating the show lately.
I recently got my hands on a couple of Les Nubians CDs, from whence comes the ”Brothers & Sisters track.” I’ve also got a couple of tracks in there by local musicians: DC’s own Princess of Controversy (“A Soldiette’s Story”) and Wayna (“Secret Identity”).
