THE COLOURED ROOM: THE PREQUEL w/ MOUSSÉ

The soundtrack of cultural diversity, from the 1970s to the 2000s. From Seydina Wade's folk to Africando's salsa to Manu Dibango's funk to Third World's reggae to Soul II Soul's R&B, we're dabbling into African gems and global Black music. Those tracks all represent Moussé's childhood: a French-Senegalese kid from the 1990s whose parents wrote books about the history of African music and created the website Afrisson.com.
