The most incredible and wonderful thing: to write a book and learn that it helped inspire a fabulous album of Uzbek Disco, Tajik Folktronica, Uyghur Rock & Tatar Jazz from 1980s Soviet Central Asia. It is my album of the year - hands down. Fantastic tunes !

The Ano Nobo Quartet is named after the legendary Cape Verdean composer and features his 3 sons.
I'll play a song from their beautiful album, The Strings of São Domingos.
And then we'll hear @kaiakater telling us how a conversation with her dad inspired her album, Grenades.

Frequencies' Sudanese music special re-airs on @CBCMusic at 4 (ET).
You’ll hear lots of great stories and music, including songs by Sudanese legends Mohammed Wardi and Al Balabil, who were known as the “Sudanese Supremes."

@OSTLP says its forthcoming compilation, Synthesized Sudan, "is confirmation that the many electronic styles being exported from Africa have a new worthy sibling and rival ~ Jantra’s signature electronic Jaglara from the Fashaga underground."
Check out this trippy track!

@OSTLP says Fashaga "is home to one of the most raucous, addictive, and celestial dance musics being made anywhere in Africa."
I'll play a track from a forthcoming compilation titled Synthesized Sudan: Astro-Nubian Electronic Jaglara Dance Sounds from the Fashaga Underground.

African dance music is in vogue right now partly due to Ampiano.
We often don't hear a lot about dance music from the Horn though. There's a genre based out of the Sudanese Ethiopian border region of Al Fashaga called Jaglara that I think is fire.

#BEJA POWER! For me THE Best Album of the Year, by Noori & his Dorpa Band, hypnotic sounds from Eastern #Sudan, recorded in #Omdurman for @OSTLP by @VikSoho & @JantoRner. Like @JamesCopnall said, you keep listening back to it, here AL AMAL for #SudanUprising, #KeepEarsOnSudan:

When Noori and his Dorpa band released their profound album, Beja Power, on @ostlp, @alsarah5000 played the album over and over, mesmerized by the hypnotic melodies, so clearly of eastern Sudanese origin, rooted in the traditional Beja scales. loom.ly/1rp9lGQ
