Santrofi at WOMEX: Ghanaian Highlife Re-imagined
Accra-based band Santrofi take a new look at classic highlife sounds of Ghana - with lots more in their vibrant mix as well. Tonight we feature a mini-session they recorded with Jon Kertzer, former African music host and continuing contributor to Seattle's KEXP for KEXP at the WOMEX World Music Expo in Tampere, Finland on October 24, 2019. We'll also hear a couple of tracks from their stellar debut album Alewa, released by Outhere records in 2020.
Big thanks to Sigtor Kjetså and Tore Steen from NRK Norway and Janko Sadnik from WDR Germany for producing / engineering Santrofi's session at the WOMEX EBU Radio Studio.

fantastic show, loving the tunes -- been listening since the top of the show, but Los Gatos Locos wanted their DINNER first
i trust DUMPLING and FEBO are loving the porch -- and BIRD WATCHING :)

That feeling when... you do some very belated spring reorganization and find an old FMU T-shirt that has “WFMU WXHD” on it! It’s an old premium for a show I almost never listen to anymore (though I’m glad to see it’s now on an alternate FMU stream) — can any of you guess which show?
