New Interview with Sola + Win NEW Album (deadline 12/31/07)
Sola opens up a bit about his new album Route to Roots in a brief interview posted last week. He speaks of influences, plans to do live gigs in 2008 and building his own studio.
You also have a chance to win the album by answering a trivia question, in which the answer can be easily found by snooping around a bit.
Any questions on it can be directed to me or the email listed.
Interview: http://www.geoclan.com/music/articles/06/interviews/AnInterviewwithSolaAkingbola.htm
Contest to win album: http://www.geoclan.com/music/articles/07/TheRoutestoRootsContest.htm
While you are on the site, feel free to check out other parts of it including an article about the vegetarian lifestyle (by someone we all know  ), music reviews (mainly hip-hop/R&B), political commentary and other things. GeoClan is a site that seeks to bring forth alternative media and report on real issues that affect real people while uploading positive change in the community and world. In addition to the website, they do a number of events throughout the year to better the communities.
Enjoy the interview and Good Luck in the contest,
Deesha

| Yes, I'm working on some live dates in the New Year. At the moment I'm trying to find some younger players to get involved with. Particularly young Nigerians who are interested in contemporizing the rhythms of old. |
Good news!
