Back in the states, I’m going to be able to fulfill my promise to post on Liberian music, and the vibrant growing scene there. I’m publishing another couple of articles for Cluster Mag about it, and am really excited about a compilation Akwaaba Music and I have decided to put together. So keep a look out for those.

In the meantime, enjoy this track from John Beadle’s African Diva’s Compilation Vol. 1.

Most of the information on the Liberian music industry available on the web is from artists that were recording before the war and who have since left. Princess Gayflor is one of those artists. Read about her here.
