Amadou Ballake, Kante Manfila, Baba Commandant, Kady Diarra
WELCOME!
African, Latin & Caribbean music.
We start with a couple of 1970s classics from Burkina Faso, one of which is Amaou Ballake’s original song about money problems, “Wariko”.
He actually recorded three songs by that name that I know of. We’ll play an 80s song of his by that name, then another 80s song by Kante Manfila of Guinea.
Follow these with two contemporary burning hot “Wariko” songs from Burkina Faso, then MORE!
Yes, MORE! Music from Benin, Cabo Verde, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Martinique and RDCongo. And MORE!

Boats in Colombia Boats in Cabo Verde
WELCOME!
The Motherland Influence plays African, Latin & Caribbean music every week.
Today we’ll start by listening to music from Colombia and Cabo Verde then more from Colombia and Cabo Verde,
From accordions to horns, great vocals and deep basslines, complex percussion and guitars. From cumbia to funana – and a whole lot more – there’s a lot of commonality in the music we will play for you today.
You can kick back or kick up some dust.
Later in the program, we’ll spin off to Brazil, Angola, Haiti, Peru and more.
