The Motherland Influence presents:
Some search for hidden gems on this day, so I have done the same.
After some digging in the crates, I have a group of West African vinyl records on hand and, starting in Mali, I’ll share some gems with you, There will be a couple of classic tracks from Senegal in honor of Senegal Independence Day today.
We’ll take a brief foray into the selva costal de Colombia for some wonderous marimba-infused Afro-Colombian guapi music, then go back to Africa.
