Hi folks,

Politics aside, I like the sample tracks I heard online from "Kairo."  I
listened to Bi "Kelu Le (Men of Today)", and "Gamo Jegimarr."  They were
fantastic, and if indicative of the rest of the CD, and the Gambian music
scene, I'd say we have a lot to offer the world.  Keep up the great work!

I unfortunately no longer do my African music show, which I volunteered to
host every other Saturday for 6 years on Madison's community radio station,
WORT FM (http://www.netphoria.com/wort).  However, the show still goes on
(it's now called "Pan Africa"), and along with other World Music shows at
WORT, would be a great outlet for promoting "Kairo."  I suggest you send a
promotional copy to the station's music director at the following address:

        Sybil Augustine
        Music Director
        WORT 89.9 FM Community Radio
        118 South Bedford Street
        Madison, WI 53703-2626
        USA

I'd be more than happy to provide some more promotional leads, if you write
to me directly at [log in to unmask]  Have a great weekend, and best wishes.

Katim
