Music,
the Soul of Africa
Rarely do we
make a trip to Africa without being completely overwhelmed
and enchanted by the music of each country and area we
visit, and the talented entertainers we meet, whether it be
at a lodge in the Serengeti, a world event in Accra, Ghana,
an open air buffet in Arusha, Tanzania, or a charismatic
church service in Kumasi. Photo

, Addis Ababa.
King
Kiki, (left) Dar
es Salaam's star performer is a prime example of Africa's
abundant talent; we enjoyed his friendship for several days
in that historic crossroads city on Tanzania's Indian Ocean
Coast, and look forward to seeing and hearing him again
soon. In the meantime, we have a selection of CDs to lift us
up on those occasional down moments. The "Heart and Soul" of
African Music will be at the top of our editorial menu for
2000. Watch for a variety of items to appear on this page.
If you want to send us information on any established
African entertainers or rising stars, send
an
E-Mail any
time.
Dates for the above event in Washington, DC to be
announced.
It's Canada
Day weekend and we're off to visit the African Music
Festival at Grandview Park on Commercial Park in Vancouver's
East End. Watch for photos and details of other African
musical events in this area. Check out this exciting web
