The Lion of Zimbabwe
Woo hoo! I tuned in to Andy Kershaw’s (archived) program on BBC Radio 3 tonight on a whim after getting my latest copy of the great Folk Roots magazine in the mail today, and found out that Andy’s guest in session tonight was one of my absolute favorite musicians, Thomas Mapfumo, The Lion of Zimbabwe (and now of Oregon). Live songs, plus interview. Yes! (The program should be available on the BBC web site for about a week. Maybe they’ll set up a separate file of the session later, too.)
