Finding Sounds 54: Afrobeat, R&B, and Calming air

Tue, Jun 17, 2025

For episode 54 of finding sounds, I play and hour and some change of afrobeat, new and old, with some neo-r&b mixed in, then i blend it into about 45 min of new ambient music. I included an excerpt from a show I recently played at the very end.

Thank you for listening.
