APWW #794\n\nWe\u2019re hopeless at making Top-10 lists--or even top-40s\u2014so you\u2019ll have to settle for this: a whole hour of some of our favorite tunes of 2018. Casting the net deep and wide, Banning and Georges spin new records by our old favorites, the freshest cuts from new artists and reissues that have gone unheard for years. If you\u2019re looking for gifts for the African-music lover in your life\u2014even if that\u2019s you!\u2014you\u2019ll find something to love here. From Parisian Afro-trap to Angelique Kidjo\u2019s reimagined Talking Heads record, from buzzing Saharan blues to swaying Cape Verdean song, 2018 is leaving us richer in music.\nProduced by Banning Eyre
