Sunday Playlist #11

Sunday Playlist #11: Save Afrofest!

Rough news this week as word got out that the city has denied a permit to the organizers of Afrofest for the use of Queen's Park. It seems shoddy, to say the least, to treat one of the city's cultural jewels like this. There's still time to have this overturned — please consider adding your voice to the petition being circulated by the organizers and spread the word.

Music Africa keeps the spirit going by holding events throughout the year, but Afrofest is the peak of it all. To serve as a reminder of what we would miss, here's a couple songs from each of the previous Afrofests.

Madagascar Slim - Boribory

Menwar - Sannzale

Afrafranto - Angelina

Muna Mingole - Makossa Ma Kwan

Dramane Kone - unknown
