Reggae covers of an artist you've definitely already heard; traditional sounds from Mali and Senegal you probably haven't yet heard; a new Indonesian band from the Netherlands that you most likely haven't yet heard; and an hour of African dusties: Ghanaian and Nigerian highlife, mbaqanga from South Africa, and east African Swahili rumba and benga
