Today GHANA: In 1974 James Brown headlined at a music festival in Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). His performance there left an indelible impression on the African Musicians in attendance. Today we sample music from 1970's GHANA that gives testimony to that legacy.

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/.
