		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been in a bit of a Benn loxo lull.  I haven&#8217;t heard much new music from Africa that&#8217;s inspired me to write.  Could be I&#8217;ve reached a temporary saturation point.  
Or maybe it&#8217;s the incredible 26-degree Paris spring, busy schedule at work with elections and imminent French sporting events and [...]]]></description>

His music makes me forget for just [...]]]></description>

Senge have managed to overcome the arid climate and general lack of chances in their homeland to achieve some international success on the world music scene.]]></description>

Luckily the two sisters in the group, Hanitra and Noro Raharimal, re-emerged as Tarika shortly thereafter and started to release new material.]]></description>
