Music featured in today's episode includes several sizzling hot new hits: Jah Prayzah's "Sadza Ne Muriwo" (Zimbabwe), Maro's "Anjagala" (Uganda), Varyna's "Moulétchaka" feat Santrinos Raphael, and Zebiba Girma's "Gerager" (Ethiopia). The feature interview coming in at :30 past the hour is my interview with the King of Marrabenta, Dilon Djinji. I met with the 92-year old icon of Mozambican music August 23 2019 to find out what marrabenta is at it's roots, and how Dilon became it's King. Also, Song of the Week with Kwame features an amazing new song out of Ghana "Account Balance" by the FOKN Bois. My Dive in the Archive tune is "Yakoli" - a 1965 original recording by Leo Sarkisian of a bow hard player from Bandi, Liberia. There's more great music, too, from Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Nigerian, Cameroon, Jamaica and Mali.
