Music in Durham

Pierre Akendengué – La Couleur de l’Afrique de Ma Chanson

My dear friend Jo has suggested this wonderfully happy, laid back music from her other home in Gabon.

This series was inspired by my dear friend Jo who suggested that I should find things to write about while we don’t have concerts to go to, and today it’s her choice of music, from her other home in Gabon. She said she and her friends had this song by the Gabonese musician Pierre Akendengué on loop in the car on one of her recent visits.
