Enter obsession with African music.





I like music a lot of the times because it evokes a certain feeling or bridges one side of something to the other for me. Never have been a huge fan of dance music or dancing in general to be honest, but african music makes me want to dance with you. It makes me want to sit outside and drink beers and dance while the sun descends behind us. Things rise and fall and the music does the same conceding to the basic rhythm of not only nature but the nature of the brain and the nature of the body.

Sooliman Rogers Rogie was born in Sierra Leone West Africa in 1940ish and made music for well over 40 years. In the 60's he grew to be popular and formed a band called The Morningstars. He passed away in 1994 shortly after releasing "Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana" . This is a collection of his recordings called Palm Wine Guitar Music, enjoy it.
