I left Etran de L'Air off my list of African concerts in 2025. NOJHF 2025 featured: Afrobeat from Seun Kuti and Eygpt 80. Thrilling music from Senegal with the great Youssou N'Dour. Intense Afro-rock from Benin International Musical. North African/electronica fusion from Zar Electrik. Sahara desert blues from Etran de L'Air. Some worthy African music releases from 2025: Mulatu Astatke, Mutalu Plays Mulatu WITCH, Sogolo Ballake Sissoko, Vincent Segal, Emile Parisien, Vincent Pierani, Sou Kora Jupiter & Okwess, Ekoya Youssou N'Dour, Eclairer le Monde (Light the World) Salif Keita, So Kono Mdou Moctar, Tears of Injustice Ballake Sissoko and Derek Gripper Seun Kuti and Egypt 80, Heavier Yet (Lays the Crownless Head) Mulatu Astatke and Hoodna Orchestra, Tension

This evening, Shelley Carrol Quartet at the Kitchen Cafe. A program of songs associated with Stan Getz. Quite excellent.

2025 was a good year for live African music for me, thanks entirely to the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival The festival featured: Afrobeat from Seun Kuti and Eygpt 80. Thrilling music from Senegal with the great Youssou N'Dour. Intense Afro-rock from Benin International Musical. North African/electronica fusion from Zar Electrik. Hopefully 2026 will be equally fruitful (though the cancellation of Orchestra Baobab from 2026 Big Ears Festival bodes ill). In the meantime, a short concert from Jupiter & Okwess..

I noticed that as well; of the acts on my list to see, there are lots that are scheduled simultaneously or overlapping.

That I do not know.

On first listen, I loved it. It was recorded in 2014 and just recently released.

The hourly schedule has been posted since last week.

Jakob Bro/Lee Konitz/Bill Frisell/Jason Moran/Thomas Morgan/Andrew Cyrile, Taking Turns (ECM)
