Here’s a Global Hit about a recent collection of music recorded in Africa during the 1960s and early 70s.

The album is called “The Rough Guide to Psychedelic Africa.”

This psychedelic, funkadelic music was heavily influenced by soul music from James Brown and other artists in the US.

Here’s three tracks I’ll focus on:
“Guitar Boy” by Victor Uwaifo
“Nga Nga by Ebo Taylor
“Eruq Yaleshaw” by Alemayenu Eshete

    Music info request to PRI The World. 
    Can someone please tell me where I can locate the listing of “Summer Hits” discussed in Marco Warmen’s hour. I was listening and attracted to the music from a group from Mali. Please tell me where I can locate the list of summer hits Marco and his other female host shared with us over the radio on June 28th or 29th.
    Thanks,
