Africa Is a Radio presents #INTLBLK, Episode 1

By
Boima Tucker

It has been awhile since our last Africa Is a Country Radio episode. More than a year in fact! Being busy is no excuse, so I’m going to say that the real reason is we’ve been holding back so that we can bring bring you bigger and better things!

I’m happy to premiere today the first show for a new season from a new location. This is the INTL BLK show from Los Angeles hosted by myself, DJ Chief Boima and INTL BLK collaborator Nora Rahimian. This episode was a preview for our INTL BLK event last Sunday at the Ace Hotel in downtown LA. It featured a guest mix and interview with Nigerian-Angelino Tomi Tribe, and a guest mix from Afro-Panamanian-Angelina Francesca Harding. Enjoy!
