On this week's Africa O-Yé! I am pleased to welcome special guest Okaidja Afroso. A guitarist, drummer and singer originally from Ghana, Okaidja has been based in Portland for a number of years, and is releasing a new CD later this month at the Alberta Rose Theater. "The Palm Wine Sea brings together the deep understanding of Okaidja's own musical traditions and the inspiration of Africa throughout Latin America. The music of The Palm Wine Sea is the music of the human experience. It is joyous, tragic, and uplifting." Tune in to hear selections from the album and to learn more about Okaidja in his own words. In the first half of the show we'll be listening to other palm wine music...
