I'm going to go ahead and kick off the summer songs season with two
songs from Africa and hope the weather will eventually cooperate.
First is Armee Guineenne, by Guinea's Bembeya Jazz National. Famed
guitarist Sekou "Diamond Fingers" Diabete achieves a depth of tone
here that pairs especially well to the slowness of a hot day, and this
song has been at the top of my most played itunes list the last two
summers. Next up is "Sunday Morning" by Zambian supergroup Amanaz.
The first line, "Sunday morning, and we're sitting outside..." is
followed by five gloriously unhurried minutes that are the perfect
soundtrack for lazy weekend mornings in the shade.
