Friends, once again, I will try my hand as a blogger. To date my performance on social media has been frankly dismal. Between writing and producing for Afropop Worldwide, composing, recording and performing music, doing freelance work, managing a complicated household, and generally enjoying life, I just have not found the wherewith-all to be a faithful poster or blogger.
But all that changes (hopefully) with the official launch of Lion Songs Records on Friday, June 4. The official debut release, Mande Guitar by Boubacar “Badian” Diabate, is a recording I have lived with for five years, and have heard countless times, never tiring of it. I believe in it deeply, but I also know that music like this, however stirring and beautiful, does not sell itself.
So look for me to be more active on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter and on this site. TIme to join the 21st century!
