The Fourth Case of the Psychedelic African Symphony

Time to do another deep dive into African psychedelia this week. I have a nice mix of styles today spanning Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Cape Verde, and Angola.

We start the show with some deep soul and rock influenced tracks... some heavy organ and fuzz guitar in this mix. We dive all the way in to some afrobeat in the second set, including an extended trance track from Kings Bucknor of Nigeria. Ending the first set today with a dose of the unique voodoo-influenced sounds of psychedelic Benin, including the popular and versatile Orchestre Poly-Rythmo of Cotonou.

The second hour today begins with a truly strange set of head tracks from around Africa... a real treat for fans of weird and obscure sounds. We drift on in to some tropical tinged tracks from Angola and Cabo Verde before we circle back to funk for a nice pick up before we drop out.
