Lots of events happening in July including big-name shows by Seun Kuti (son of Fela Kuti) and Awilo Longomba (son of Vicky Longomba). Also, we did a very nice tribute yesterday on Africa Kabisa, honoring the life and music of Nigerian highlife giant Oliver de Coque, with special guest DJ Nnamdi Moweta of Radio Afrodicia. Don't forget -- if you miss a broadcast, you can listen to the past 2 weeks of programs in the Archives section at www.wmbr.org .
