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. We’ll follow the African diaspora to South America, the Caribbean and southern Europe, but never stray far from the beat of the mother continent. From KPSQ-LP, Fayetteville, AR. This week in the Afrosonic Taxi, well take a trip through the sounds of 2020 with African artists who put out new music in the past year. During the hardship and anxiety of 2020... and the joys... this was part of our soundtrack.
