And on an unrelated note, I&#8217;m going to spend about 60 days in China starting next month.  Any tips on where to find/see/hear the good parts of Beijing&#8217;s music scene?

Following the Nigerian civil war, or Biafran war for independence, depending on your history book, juju replaced highlife as the dominant musical force in Western Nigeria.  While there were still a few Yoruba highlife musicians left in Lagos the dominant Igbo highlife [...]]]></description>
