Kumera from Kino Musica was a guest music curator recently on M&M Music, along with friend of the band Ayyantu who provided lyrical analysis and personal anecdotes--and even a beautiful duet with her fiancee and friend of the band Thalib Razi.

The weekly show is on Radio Takoma WOWD-LP FM on Thursday evenings. The focus of the show was Oromo music in the Horn of Africa. M&M Music is hosted by Marika Partridge.

Kino Musica is a six-piece group that draws inspiration from across Africa and its Diaspora. The group's members hail from Washington, DC and have backgrounds in the area's East African and Latino communities. The idea for the group came together at a musician's jam when the members improvised a set of Ethiopian melodies over Afro-Latino rhythms. Since then, Kino Musica has continued to write and create danceable & soulful music that tells their story.
