In the meantime, let&#8217;s take a quick breather.. friend and Benn loxo listener Alex has a Monday treat for you: &#8220;Tonight I&#8217;ve found a rare track that deserves to spread among the world [...]]]></description>

Ignace De Souza is one of the those forgotten greats of West African music who was very influencial in his day. To give you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So what do you guys think of the latest Antibalas album? I&#8217;ve always thought they were great live but that their studio recordings lacked something.. maybe it was just the imitation Fela that got to me, but in principle I have nothing against modern afrobeat. It&#8217;s like their tracks lacked that extra &#8220;oh, yeah, ahuh, [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;s not a Ghana native but has lived there for over 30 years and continues to be an important member of the musical community. Over the years his [...]]]></description>

Big love for sticking with Benn loxo for yet another year. A few weeks ago a Benn loxo reader tipped me off about a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just enough time for a quick post today from a 1999 African funk music compilation that I re-found recently. Today&#8217;s tracks are a funky reminder that afrobeat and its derivatives weren&#8217;t just an anglo-West African phenomenon. Great bands like Mombasa, Matata and others rocked the Kenyan soul and funk scene during the 1960s and 1970s. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've posted quite a few West African hip-hop tracks but I don't think I've posted any Afro-French or Afro-American hip-hop collaborations.  There are loads but two that stick out in my mind are 113's "Voix du Mali" with Oumou Sangaré off their 2003 album Dans l'urgence (thanks, sufi, for reminding me about this track) and Tony Allen's Jekalewa off the Nu Afrobeat Experience compilation.]]></description>
