What the Fontaine?!: Black History Month Special, part 2 (2/22/19)

“What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you’ll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres.”

As you know, February is Black History Month. Lots of stories of heroism and progress are shared in the media. I like to play music for you from African-American, African, Jamaican artists, etc. Tune in tonight 9-11pmEST for part two of two!
