After the sunshine…

November 5, 2007

Here this is the case… super hot beautiful day…brief torrential downfall…rince…repeat

To illustrate the case I’ve decided to share with you guys 2 polar opposite african music mixes…

Tristeza is a mix full of slow-burning sad lament songs…complaints about the state of life in africa and songs that call to the times past…Angolan and west-african songs that I adore. Here emotions can be felt and the lament style of cabo-verde resounds..the first track is killer…great stuff

The second mix is light slow and soulful songs comparabe to the sound of waves and the faint echo of kids on a Dakar beach..sit back relax and enjoy the soft sounds…

Also to summerize my weekend in a few words…work..play.long hours

I worked the regular Samba shift at casa africa that ended with a nice little jam session

Then went out to smaller neighborhood Santa Tereza. I love that place and the music was incredible…i then went out for food…late night style but here you have a full restaurant access with like130 diferent plates at 4:30am…

Needless to say nut much sleep

he next day i was up working at Ibra’s…finishing deadlines..

Great food as always

Kuta as always

till like 11pm… as alwyas :)

And thus another week begins…

Take care of thyselves people and enjoy the music
