Hosted by Dennis Darrah.

WGXC 90.7-FM: Radio for Open Ears

Hosted by Dennis Darrah.

Today we continue our exploration of the music recorded in the 1970's and 1980's in the West African nation of Benin (formerly Dahomey). This music was originally released by the Albarika Store in Benin and has since been re-issued on the British Acid Jazz label.

Music from around the world is featured. Bringing the audience into the realm of other cultures through music, hopefully expanding empathy for the “other,” and recognizing that “other” in ourselves. From Dennis Darrah at WGDR, Goddard College Plainfield, VT. wgdr.org/.
