Hosted by DJK from KPSQ-LP in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

This week in the Afrosonic Taxi, we're having a Festival of the Mind. We'll hear groups from Mali to Cuba perform live on our virtual stage.

Playlist:
1. Muso Ko by Habib Koite & Bamada (Mali)
2. Nangaraba by Amadou & Mariam (Mali)
3. Savon by Orchestre National de Barbes (Morocco/Algeria/France)
4. Real Family by Roberto Fonseca & Fatoumata Diawara (Cuba/Mali)
5. Africa by Santrofi feat. Omniversal Earkestra (Ghana/Germany)
6. Fai Mbuh by Frank Biyong (Cameroon)
7. Sundunguera by Los Van Van (Cuba)
8. Melodi Ya Lla by Mahlathini & the Mahotella Queens (South Africa)

Host DJK drives listeners through the world of African-influenced music – from night clubs in Dakar to festivals in Bahia, from recording studios in Havana to family compounds on the streets of Lagos. The show follows the African diaspora to South America, the Caribbean and southern Europe, but never strays far from the beat of the mother continent. From KPSQ-LP, Fayetteville, AR.
