Splendidly Blended podcast 23 – March 2010

Hot on the heels of the February podcast… I’ve been hoping to bring the publish date forward a little on these monthly mixes and I am springing forward in March because I got a bit over excited about all the music I had around me.

I’ve always had a massive amount of love for the many varied forms of music around Africa but this is probably the first time I’ve gone into that properly on this podcast.

Here there is music from Mali, South Africa, Nigeria, Cameroon, Ghana and music from around the world that has been inspired by these countries and more.

There is music old and new here – I’ve been DJing a lot recently so I wanted to get stuck into a proper dance floor mix like the ones I have been playing out. So I hope you will appreciate my first proper DJ mix in AGES!

And please remember to get your tickets to the very important Simon Says… gig at the Jazz Café in London on March 25th. More details available at www.wahwah45s.com.
