Show Notes: One of my revelations this week was the voice of Vusi Mahlesela from South Africa. Sitting down to do a review of his new CD The Voice, I didn't want to think about dissecting the music with words; it's just beautiful. I opened and closed with his voice this week. Doing research for this week's theme, I found a paucity of East African CDs in my library as well as at KAOS. I'll be working to remedy that, though I was able to put together more than an hour of great music, including some produced by Rosa Tyabji of Limitless Sky Records, who shared some of her musical and cultural knowledge with us this week. Rosa told me off-mic that she's hoping to get some of the Limitless Sky artists to the US on tour in the future. I'll be looking to get them into the KAOS studio for some music. Stay tuned.

# Our cover song of the week was on vacation this week, but will be back next week.
