Yet another colorful patch in this rich and varied quilt of Radio Paradise. This beautiful and different song is why I listen.

Nice transition from this to the Moody Blues' "Visions of Paradise."

Yeee-haw! That's my photo! (Thank you for asking permission to post it.)

I took that when Habib Koité performed at Berea College last year.

Heh, just listening to Baro on the way in to work this morning.

Seen 'em live - killer show. The guy on percussion (shoot, forget his name) is utterly amazing.

This was my first album, I've since added Baro and Afriki. All three are stellar efforts.

I was first introduced to these guys when my mother-in-law brought me one of their CD's from France...if I had been listening to RP at the time, I already would have recognized them...

I was also introduced to HK&B on RP, (but I only got my mitts on this album).

Well worth it!  Preciously the type of music I love to hear on RP.

Excellent, most excellent! There are some guitar chord changes in there which are so subtle as to be almost invisible, yet they are crucial and beautiful.
