i thought that jollof rice song sounded familiar so i searched it on spotify/my local library -- it turns out i didn't have a copy of it, but searching it brought up this album which is apparently really new and has a jollof rice track on it?! http://www.mvulamandondo.com/album/ambush/

one month passes...

this is the same tracklisting as the Palm Wine Guitar Music comp but i'm hoping the vol 1 means we can expect a vol 2

Just came looking for a thread on SE Rogie after finding The Sounds of SE Rogie on LP this weekend. Initial thoughts were Rogie = African Hank Williams but it's a very simplistic analogy. Enjoying this with the windows open and a warm breeze flowing through the house.

You know what's a good album ? Seven Degrees North (2000) by King Sunny Adé.

I tried (bottled) palm wine two weeks ago. It was light, sweetish, slightly tart, not bad but not something I'd trade a beer for.
