Comment on Djembe and African music Spotify playlists by James

You should check out GrooveShark.com, they are similar, but they tend not to limit by country as much. I’m sure South African is often left out of these things. I know, because I used to live there.

Thanks for dropping by anyway

I would really love to be able to listen to this, but we can’t access Spotify in South Africa unfortunately
I’ve recorded a few songs my self. I’m not the greates player, or vocalist for that matter, but for me, it’s not about talent, it’s about the joy it brings.
I’ve done a few tunes with the djembe, fujara and conkovka as well. If you’d like to have a listen, please visit my site, and click on the “gallery” link. http://groovecustom.toadsisland.com/
My version of Fanga leaves much to be desired, but the words mean the same thing, sung well or not
I’d really appreciate some feedback, if you wouldn’t mind.

Ashé ashé!!!

Thanx for the interview Paddy, and for the subtitles, for the wind made it a real mess. I always liked M´Bembas playing, although never had opportunity to meet him..
