Africa

[dreambohemia]

So I am going to Africa for 2 months on June 1st to work in the hospitals in Ghana. To get ready for the trip I want to make a couple of mixes. I was wondering if anyone knew in songs about Africa (i.e. Toto "Africa"), African themed, or even if the just mention Africa. It can be any genre. Thanks guys!

danka! I listened to to "teacher don't teach me no nonsense" and really enjoyed it. I also like the long musical intro in "Sorrow Blood and Tears"

Paul Simon did a pretty cool album called Graceland back in 86. A lot of it was recorded in South Africa and had African music groups featured in it. It's a really cool mix of sound, I'd definitely give it a try if I were you.

Thanks! I listened to a few of the songs on youtube and I think I'm going to pick up the CD before I leave. It will give me something to do on the long plane ride over there.
