Reblogged this on Thorn Tree Country and commented:
I’m a big fan of West African music after my “conversion” one hot Senegalese day (back in the “80s) while riding public transport from Dakar to Diourbel. The vehicle had an excellent sound system and for the first time I was able to properly hear the music. It was like a religious revelation and brought me one step closer to the pulse of the culture.
Haha, sounds great. Vehicle riding… Thanks so much for the comment and the reblog !
