2002 West Africa Spin
Aired October 31, 2002
New music from Salif Keita, Yossou N'Dour, and Orchestra Baobab are highlights of this West Africa update program. Once again, Mali provides lots of excitement with award winning acoustic work from guitarist Djelimady Tounkara, and a live segment from Kandia Kouyate on her recent U.S. tour. We also get the history on a legendary Gambian group, Ifang Bondi, plus sample voodoo jazz from Benin and the latest from Burkina Faso's Farafina.
