I have been involved with world music promotion for over 10 years, in a variety of different ways. I began broadcasting on Live365 in November 2006, after being unable to find a radio station, on the internet or otherwise, which had my mix of African, Caribbean and Latin music. I did not expect to have as many listeners as I actually got. So I am pleased that my station has a following, without ever having compromised on quality.
In the big world outside of cyberspace, I work in local government finance.
Bob Marley
-
Uprising
He had some great music that was not included in the Legends (Best of) album. This is a perfect example.
Africando
-
Trovador
The album that started the phenomenon that is Africando.
Aswad
-
New Chapter
It is British reggae at its finest, proving that Aswad could be a hard-hitting, roots reggae band, not just the blander mass market group that it became.
Kanda Bongo Man
-
Kwassa Kwassa
The soukous master at his peak - still keeping a slower rumba section then bursting into the faster seben section. This album includes the studio recording of Liza, which was part of his set at the legendary New York Central Park gig, where an outstanding live version was recorded.
