African Pop Music of the Sixties

While I was in Africa I was lucky enough to take in a concert while Dr. Nico was touring Sierra Leone. I guess I didn't appreciate the significance when the concert was held back in 1970 because I almost didn't go in when I found out it was admission of one dollar. Anyhow, Dr. Nico is one of the legends of African guitar music. I have to admit I never found the singing that exciting, partly I didn't understand the lyrics, but the guitar and the drums made up for it.

And today is the US inauguration. Go Obama! What a day.
