Do you remember? A few years ago (2015), together, we made a first trip through 11 African countries : https://www.mixcloud.com/lesmainsnoires/062-air-afrique-vol01-selected-by-tristan-cordier/

Here we go again for a musical journey through Africa. It will take us from Kinshasa to Praia, passing by Bamako and Soweto. Stepping away from dancefloor (and rare) stuff, I opted for a peacefull and deep selection. Except for one or two pearls discovered recently, most songs have been part of my "favorites" for a long time, seemingly peerless, timeless... Our plane is on track. Immediate boarding!
This mix (Air Afrique Vol 2) was made for "Les Mains Noires" in November 2018. But they unfortunately stopped their website activities at that time. We miss you guys!

I heard voices : "@ home you have to stay today. No, Melody Nelson, you can't go at the Garrison". 
I know. And tomorrow also. So, how to go to Toronto? I really need to share my love for the music 
with A man called Warwick. So many beauties, countries and discoveries to show, like in movies. 
Blind travel. Close your eyes. We are cycling on a black circle track. Mind marvel. Open your skies. 
We are travelling on flying vinyl. Don't hide your trip, go to the flip side. That's Turning Point in our lives.
