"Another report from the gentle heart of African music"

This is the one-hour program for the weekend of September 3, 2010 from Hearts of Space Radio Show. This program is dedicated to the songs of Africa.

Review by Stephen Hill, Producer:
"The Zulu harmonies of LADYSMITH BLACK MAMBAZO from South Africa — they have a special place in the history of contemporary music. Established in the 1960s, their fame in their homeland attracted the attention of American pop singer/songwriter PAUL SIMON, who went to South Africa to record with them in 1986. The resulting album GRACELAND sold 16 million copies, and arguably kicked off the 'world music' trend in the United States."

"Of course, there's a lot more to African music. On this transmission of Hearts of Space, we immerse ourselves in the buoyant rhythms, earthy sounds and charming melodies that make African music such a delight."
