It seems that the election atmosphere remains tense, but word from Liberia is people are taking it all in stride.

Beyond mainstream politics, it’s time for celebration.

The Lone Stars Vol. 1: Hipco and Gbema compilation is out! The album was released this past Tuesday, and is available for purchase by digital download at Bandcamp, iTunes, or Amazon.

The above video is for David Mell’s “Hero”, one of the songs featured on the compilation. I think the album really shows the amazing talent working in both Liberia, and the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. Support these artists by buying their music!
