Alex Minoff Interview - Sept. 19 - 7PM - Abstract Index radio show

I recently spoke with Alex Minoff a guitarist/vocalist with Benga-rock band Extra Golden. I blogged about their first disc, and I wasn't alone. Somewhat improbably, they have a new album, thanks to good fortune and subtle political persuasion which enabled the reunion of the Kenyan members of the band and their American mates. They toured together and spent 5 days in a remote house in Pennsylvania to cut Hera Ma Nono. Minoff sounded pleased about Extra Golden's state of affairs throughout our conversation as we talked about his many life-changing experiences bound up in this collaboration.

As usual, the interview will air at 7PM Eastern time at 89.5FM in Toronto and at www.ciut.fm on the web.
