NOW IS THE TIME!
For all good people to come to the aid of their radio family.
WFMU and Give the Drummer Radio are coming to you, hat in hand requesting a small or large token of your largesse. We must raise $300,000 by the end of the month, and you know what? WE ARE ALMOST 90% OF THE WAY THERE!
Please help us reach our goal and put us all—the listeners, DJs and volunteers who make up this crazy radio family—in our happy place!

Special Program: Traveling Through Central Africa
Being locked down, locked in and unable to travel, I have started to get delirious for the idea of travel. I bought new luggage, new travel bottles and yet I still see no travel in the near future.... So what do I do when I can't go anywhere, I delve in deeply into a musical adventure that takes me across a continent. Come join me in the second of three series where I travel (again) through Africa. This week we travel the Central areas of Africa, finding music that is new to me and exciting.

Upbeat East African rarities mingling with the moodiest of Soviet schlageristas, bluesy Vietnamese pressings meets Indian Ocean studio soul. Rearranged pop hits, funky near misses, sentimental crooners and confrontational folksploitation all have equal standing in this trans-national afternoon.
