Yay!! The NHL preseason started today!! I love watching hockey 🥅 🏒and supporting my team!! I am currently watching the Vancouver Canucks vs. Seattle Kraken game. I hope to see the Canucks play well when the season starts. If you watch NHL hockey, which team do you support? I have been a Canucks fan since I was a kid. I have only seen 2 games live in person and hopefully I will go to one again. I hope in my lifetime I get to see the Canucks win the Stanley cup. It probably won’t happen. 😔

Ok guys, scrap the idea on my last post. I wanted to do my own listening parties on like Stationhead, but I have like no followers. There is no point of me doing my own station just for myself. 💀Also, I think Spotify wrapped stops tracking music on Oct 31. I’m not sure about Apple Music though. Let’s get music listening every opportunity we have before Oct 31. I already know my music listening minutes will be at an all time high because of me very actively listening to music.
Here is a super late share of Airbuds stats from last week. Number 1 & 2 are artists from Togo. 🇹🇬 Number 3 is a Canadian 🇨🇦 rock band from the late 70’s & 80’s.
World Wide Music: Burundi 🇧🇮- Part 1
From Oct 12-18
Artist: Africanova
Genres: Afro-soul, Funk, Rumba, Soukous, Afro-jazz, Traditional Burundian music
About the artist:
Africanova (real name Antoine-Marie Rugerinyange) is a pioneering Burundian singer, guitarist, and composer born in 1950 in Musenyi, Burundi. He began performing in the 1970s with AMI Jazz de Gitega and later became a key member of Amabano, one of Burundi’s most influential bands, blending soul, funk, and Burundian traditional music. Known for songs like “Ntukamwinyegeze” and “Iyizire, Ma!”, Africanova’s music stood out for its rich melodies and poetic Kirundi lyrics.
After leading his own group Mbaza System in the early ’90s, he went into exile in Côte d’Ivoire, eventually settling in Canada, where he continued to record albums such as Aseke (2001) and Dukumburukanye (2004). Africanova remains celebrated as a founding figure of modern Burundian music.
