some background info to read on the rest day:
Made this tape in the 90s based on the compilation "Africa Never Stand Still" (1994, 3CD). Found the track order to jumpy around, so made my own selection of the tracks I liked most and ordered them like a musical tour through the continent. Still really love this tape, really feels like travelling around, meeting musicians, all with their own musical style, and feeling the different flows. Now it's here for you, enjoy the Tour of Africa!!!
PS: no cutting of tracks, so one continuous trip! (to be continued.....)
