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

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.

This week in the Afrosonic Taxi, we'll dial back 30 years and take a tour of East Africa. From marrabenta in Mozambique to Swahili rumba in Kenya, music in this region was flourishing in the 1980s and early 90s.
