African Perspectives for November 28, 2021

The fourth and final show in November is our thanksgiving special and final episode in the month-long anniversary celebration of African Perspectives. The episode is a twofold thanksgiving special for the season and the spirit of gratitude, especially after the nearly two years of living through this apparently unending COVID-19 pandemic. For the final time, the episode shares the four featured questions and the four CD prizes for the AP @ 24 African music CD give away contest. The episode features the personal and program thanksgiving celebration along with announcement of the dedication ceremony of my portrait by the Athens award-winning artist, Jackie Dorsey at the station on November 20,2021. As always, the episode featured selected enjoyable music from Africa and/or by Africans including featured tracks from the Nigerian brother duo, P-Square and Flavour from his Thankful album.
