Whirled Music
Many friends have asked me about the music of Mozambique. While much of what I heard imitated the music of neighboring cultures and Western R&B and rap, this show delves into musical traditions native to the country. The show's approach is pretty anthropological and thus the host has a tendency to exoticize what she's seeing and hearing, but the music itself is pretty interesting.

Hi. My name is also Adam Graham and strangely, I am living in neighbouring Malawi on a student internship with the UNFPA. I thought it rather unique to have two Adam Grahams in sub-Saharan Africa so this is just a shout-out. I can share your thoughts on Tete although after spending five months in Lilongwe, Tete was a city with telephone booths and buildings taller than 2 stories so it seemed... almost metropolitan. ;)
