2010 Coming at ya!

Hey, welcome to the Pan-African Hour page for 2010! On this show we explore all types of music from Africa, as well as types of music that have developed in the Carribean, Central America and South America that reflect African sources. We have a special penchant for African music from the 1960's and the 1970's, a time before synthesizers, the "world music" market, and econcomic declines throughout Africa affected the many styles of the continent. Right now DJ Sassafrass is off in Ukraine eating kubasa and drinking vodka, so I, DJ Sasparilla, will be hosting some shows alone, but mostly with my good friend Leslie Crusher. We try to be informative on the PAH, but we also are pretty ridiculous alot of the time. Look out for a special series I'm putting together called the Essential Guide Series. On these special episodes of the PAH I will can the jokes and focus on just being really informative and providing eduacational programming about African and African derived music. If you like our shows, check out our blog at radioscum.blogspot.com. Its a site where we have posted pretty much every episode of the PAH, as well as a show I did with my buddy DJ Spooky Luke called the West African Hour, the show which the PAH grew out of. We share the site with two other shows, Eat My Country (hosted by Alberta Bertha and Edmonchuk on CJLO) and Hip-Hop Spread on the World Bread (DJ Spooky Luke and DJ Rankin' B on CJSR (the radiostation for the Univeristy of Alberta in Edmonton)).
