Africa is a Radio: Episode #4 – World Cup Special!

We’re shortening the name of Africa is a Country Radio. From now on (save for when we slip up) the show will be known as Africa is a Radio!

This month’s show dives fully (rather than the toe dip of last month) into World Cup fever with a show that features 16 songs for the 16 teams from 16 countries that made it to the tournament’s knock out stages (we’re down to 8 today).  Enjoy the music and read Chief Boima’s updates from Rio on the blog!
