		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m continually impressed by the Rough Guide African music compilations.  One of their latest, The Rough Guide to African Blues, is another example of their well researched and wide-ranging musical surveys.
I&#8217;ll feature two tracks today off this compilation: the first from a &#8220;country&#8221; I&#8217;ve never featured on Benn loxo, Western Sahara.  (If you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Some time ago i saw the movie Va, Vis Et Deviens which features the Mahmoud Ahmed song Yaselame Lalo. I had actually forgotten i have  it on his album Live In Paris. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to a Gotan Project show the other night in Paris.  They saved the best for last- their encore included a great version of Triptico, my favourite track that brings back memories of rainy Toronto nights many years ago, and a surprise appearance by Saian Supa Crew who managed to get the (very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[James Brown died today.  He was 73.
Benn loxo listener, Henri, sent me this Sekouba Diabaté track to post as a tribute.  I&#8217;ll also post a track by &#8220;Ethiopia&#8217;s James Brown&#8221;, Alemayehu Eshete, to show how far his influence spread.
I can&#8217;t say anything positive about James Brown the person, but his music and style [...]]]></description>

The album grew out of Saturday night jam sessions at NYC Moroccan-French restaurant L&#8217;Orange Bleue.  The mix of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Aster Aweke is one of contemporary Ethiopian music's finest voices.  She was born in Gonda, Ethiopia, but grew-up in Addis Ababa.  By the mid-1970s she had developed an interest in local music and started singing with some groups in Addis.  Her powerful voice attracted the attention of  musician Ali Tango who would go on to support her musically and financially as her career developed.  ]]></description>
