I was in Brussels last weekend for the 3-day Couleur Café music festival.  It was my third Couleur Café &#8211; it&#8217;s becoming a bit of a tradition.

		<description><![CDATA[It wasn&#8217;t a great BBC quiz week for me.  Only 3 right.  I guess that&#8217;s understandable considering I&#8217;ve been working long hours recently, preparing for something I probably won&#8217;t do anyway.  (I was hoping to do a rugby series on Benn loxo like I did when I was working at the football [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago some friends and I had the bright idea to organize a roadtrip from Dakar to The Gambia at 3am.  Anyone who&#8217;s worked the 7-places circuit around West Africa can tell you that negotiating the price of a bush taxi in the dark corners of a large gare routière is never [...]]]></description>

&#8220;F. Kenya was born in the Ghanaian town of Asima in the Eastern Nzema District.  Trained as a goldsmith, he started singing in the mid 60&#8217;s with the Ahamanos band and later joined Kaikaiku&#8217;s No. 1 band before going [...]]]></description>

After a somewhat tense day in Nablus I found myself with a few friends in a &#8220;trendy&#8221; bar in Ramallah, drinking some Chianti amidst French expats from Lyon and Palestinian night-life folks.  My friend, Jake, bet me 5 shekels that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After Cote d'Ivoire gained independence in 1960, Abidjan became the center of the francophone African music industry. Huge stars from all over the continent recorded there. Like many other French-speaking African countries, CI was mostly dominated by Afro-Cuban salsa, Ghanaian highlife and Congolese soukous; for the most part, local styles were overshadowed by the slick, studio-produced music of big-name artists.]]></description>

Several "generations" of Dakar kids passed a night or two here, from Thomas the raging Norwegian to Elo the shady Guinean (and soon to be proud father? Say what, Elo?)]]></description>
