So, let’s take a musical trip through the African continent, shall we?
Here’s a few 45s from varying countries in Africa. We start with one from my trip to Mali back in January of this year. I used this song for the short clip of me in Mopti and have been humming it to myself ever since. Funny enough, my homegirl from Tanzania ragged on me as she thought they were saying “Mzungu,” meaning foreigner in Swahili. Not the case, but still had us laughing.
Orchestre Sinza is, in fact, not from Mali, but a Soukous group from the Congo. They were quite popular and have a number of albums out there, some of which can be found on one of the best world music site out there, Global Groove. Aside from that, I know very little, but no matter - it’s the music that counts. And the cover rocks. That alone is reason enough to post.
NOTE: This one’s in rough shape, but I just had to share.
