Afrika

This week, I scheduled Asheville, NC african-rock fusion group Toubab Krewe to come into the studio to do a little interview and performa. They were a little behind schedule, but that just meant that you all got to hear some great west african kora playing in preperation of their arrival.

This is my last show of the semester, but never fear, I will beBBACK next semester, and betta then ever.
