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

This week in the Afrosonic Taxi, we're searching for Afrobeat far from the homeland. We'll roam from South America to Europe in search of that danceable Nigerian groove, and make a few stops in the Motherland, too.

1. Santiago by Newen Afrobeat (Chile) 2. Vacuum by Warsaw Afrobeat Orchestra (Poland) 3. Tunnel Bar by Zongo Junction (USA) 4. Kelema by Sia Tolno (Guinea) 5. Let Them Know by Public Opinion Afro Orchestra (Australia) 6. People, People by The Souljazz Orchestra (Canada) 7. Find a Way by Professor Wouassa feat. Thais Diarra & Didier Awadi (Switzerland/Mali/Senegal) 8. Mifolo by Cacique '97 (Mozambique/Portugal) 9. New School by Alma Afrobeat Ensemble (USA/Ghana/Spain) 10. Let's Make History by Femi Kuti (Nigeria)

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.
