Emmanuel Nado playlist for 9/20/2012





As Ken Wiwa the son of Ken Saro Wiwa leader of the Ogoni people of Nigeria assassinated by the Nigeria government in 1995 said’ “When voices as my father are silenced, other rise and often they belong to musicians. African musicians carry a secret burden. They are the griots, the historians of its rich, varied complex past.”  African artists have  so often written beautiful melodies and poignant lyrics which paint the continent in all its grandeur and beauty… On today’s show I featured songs by various artists singing the praises of Africa.

No other continent has been sung about as much as Africa. Whether they are on the continent or outside in the Diaspora the message from these artists is the same. The love and longing they have for the continent.

Playlist September 13: Become a Member of Africa Mix

Emmanuel Nado and Edwin Okong'o reunited for another KALW membership drive. KALW is a listener-supported, which gives the station the liberty to host programs like Africa Mix. It's because of our members that we are able to play music without without the commercial interruption found in commercial radio stations.

In addition to being a place where lovers of African music can listen to it every Thursday, Africa Mix has also become an important platform for the African community in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is a program where anyone serving the community can request to come in and speak about the work they are doing.

For the first set of this week's playlist we played African music produced here in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is further testimony that your membership allows us to bring you content that we think deserves your ear -- not what special interests think you should listen to.

Please become part of this grassroots movement to give the local African community a much-needed voice. If you are in North America, call 1-800-525-9917 to become a member. All others can do so online by clicking on this link.

Here is the playlist:
