Tired of Top Tens? 99 song special!

cover1440

How about 99 songs for 7 bucks at Amazon? Sorry this is a US-only offer… we don’t support these silly territorial limitations, but alas, for the time being this is how it is…

So… for you lucky US people, we handpicked 99 songs which aim to cover the breadth of music of West Africa. From traditional voodoo music to sweaty club bangers, from kora harmonies to socially charged hip hop, we selected many of the up and coming African artists we met on our trips to Africa, many artists who have not yet released an album, but merely a demo or EP. So please support these artists and let people know about this great little package!

Happy haladaze….
