In the mid- to late-1980s, there was a great little radio show called the World Beat Music Show, hosted by Dan Del Santo. Many of the tracks on this album got serious rotation on the show every week and it was this blog author's first serious exposure to music outside of the American/British realm that didn't revolve around the anarcho-political scene. Dan Del Santo was a pivotal character in bringing music from around the world into the Austin music scene with his radio show. If not for his efforts, Austin may not have seen events such as Reggae Sunsplash or a live performance by Fela Kuti. More on him later...
For now, enjoy this spectacular album!

Not sure about downloading music files....
get with me sometime to go over it...yeah, at my house.
Yeah, it seems scarier than it is at first. I'll show you the what's what at a later date. Most likely after all the hoopla regarding my employment situation has become more firm. A whole lot up in the air currently and it's gobbling up my free time.
